Vampirella Archives Paperbacks Bring
Sizzling Sixth Volume in Hit Affordable Line!
| 
March 19, Mt. Laurel, NJ: Dynamite Entertainment is bringing another hotly anticipated release to the shelves of retailers and fans this June, ready to heat up the summer, as Vampirella Archives Volume 6 adds to the new line of paperbacks reprinting the icon's original era.
This sizzling sixth entry reprints issues #36-42 of the Vampirella magazine produced originally by Warren Publishing. These stories were originally released from fall 1974 through spring 1975.
This book and its five former volumes can be picked up in any order by readers, with their largely anthology format. Each issue is stuffed full of multiple stories from horror, sci-fi, and fantasy, and the cherry on top is the continuing adventures of the Daughter of Drakulon. The preceding fabulous fifth book kicked off the run on Vampi's tales by writer Flaxman Loew, the first appearance of her feline frenemy Pantha, as well as a concentration of work by the legend Jeffrey Catherine Jones.
For the sixth book in the batting order, fans can delight to more gorgeous Vampirella artwork by her definitive creator of the era, Jose Gonzalez, as always. Though more than perhaps any other volume, the majority of the Drakulonian's stories here feature different artists offering a novel look, including Leopold Sanchez and Jose Ortiz. Writer Flaxman Loew's core run comes to a close here, with Bill DuBay set to replace him next volume. A real treat for fans here is "She Who Waits!" from #37 with a return of Archie Goodwin alongside Gonzalez, and presented in full color!
Pantha stars in a story within, and Esteban Maroto richly illustrates two stories featuring Dracula. Other creators in these issues include Doug Moench, Martin Pasko, Steve Skeates, Rafael Auraleon, Jose Bea, Fernando Fernandez, Luis Bermejo, Paul Neary, and more.
For those looking ahead, the next volume will include the critical first appearance of Vampi rogue the Blood Red Queen of Hearts, legendary writer Len Wein, another powerful Pantha epic, and more.
