July 26 Mt. Laurel, NJ: Vampirella's story has reached all corners of her life, the world, and even beyond. Now writer Christopher Priest turns the attention of his heralded run to her earliest days. Fans can now learn her origin story like never before, and now available in the innovative NFT comic book format.
Vampirella's origin has been chronicled a few times, like any classic comic book superstar in her 50 plus years on the stands. Her very first appearance by Forrest J. Ackerman and Tom Sutton was a quick several page explanation of how the Drakulonian made her way to Earth. Other stories through the years have retold, expanded, and recontextualized that crucial point in her journey. None have approached it fully quite like Vampirella: Year One by writer Christopher Priest, reunited with the artist who kicked off his run in 2019, Ergün Gündüz. Readers will get peeks at Vampi's early years as a young girl on Drakulon. Then, how she arrived to her adoptive planet Earth. As well as the loneliness and early critical connections she made once here. Dive right into the first issue now as an NFT release!
