July 21, Mt. Laurel, NJ: Dynamite Entertainment invites fans to bite into another big batch of classic tales of the Daughter of Drakulon, with the announcement of the upcoming epic eighth volume of the Vampirella Archives in paperback.
The next edition includes issues #50-56 from the original Vampirella magazine series, as released originally by Warren Publishing. These stories were originally released from spring through winter of 1976.
Each of the exhilarating eight volumes so far can be read and enjoyed in any order, compiling a large slice of tales featuring the titular vampiress as well as a range of anthology yarns from horror, science fiction, fantasy, and other genres. This book rounds out to well over 300 pulse-pounding pages featuring gorgeous artwork across the board in the classic Warren tradition.
The seventh volume featured the start of writer Bill DuBay’s tenure as the primary architect of Vampi’s ongoing adventures, with a mix of Jose Gonzalez, Gonzalo Mayo, Esteban Maroto, and others, plus a retold origin story.
Everything kicks off in this new volume with the nearly full-length crossover issue #50, with a 40-page epic encompassing Vampirella, Pantha, Fleur and even a special cameo by an icon of comics. This chunk also features some Vampirella stories by writer Gerry Boudreau.
Other creators in these issues include Howard Chaykin, Bruce Jones, Richard Corben, Roger McKenzie, Rafael Auraleon, Leopold Sanchez, Jan Strnad, Jose Ortiz, and more.
A ninth volume to follow this one will be anchored by yet another, even bigger full issue Vampirella story by Gerry Boudreau, Gonzalo Mayo, and Carmine Infantino. Fans can also look forward to some tales of the raven-haired anti-heroine by writer Roger McKenzie, who played a pivotal role in the evolution of Daredevil.
