'American Virgin' (which I just call 'Virgin' for short!) is a new ongoing Vertigo monthly about sex and death and how long you can live in the shadow of one without retreating to the other," explained Seagle. "It's written by me and drawn by multiple Eisner nominee and all-around hippest woman in comics - Becky Cloonan. 'Virgin' will do for global sexual myth, history and practice what 'Preacher' did for gross-out action and 'Hellblazer' did for demonology.
