Crimson was a fantasy/horror comic book series created by artist Humberto Ramos and scripter Brian Augustyn from story concepts by script F.G. Haghenbeck and Oscar Pinto. It was published by Wildstorm Comics' Cliffhanger imprint of creator-owned comics.

Crimson starred a young man named Alex Elder who, after disobeying his parents, went out for the night with a group of friends. Attacked by a gang of vampires, all were murdered save Alex, who was instead bitten by the gang leader. The series followed Alex as he attempted to adjust to life as a vampire. The title featured not only vampires, but werewolves and other supernatural elements, as well as Biblical themes.

The series debuted in 1998 and ran for twenty-four issues. Also published were a special issue as well as a one-shot starring the villainous Scarlet X. It featured the origin of Joe the Indian.
