Dynamite has announced a special Valentine’s Day treat for fans! The hotly anticipated and historical Vampirella #666 will be releasing on February 14 exactly, with a special focus in the release schedule for fans to enjoy this big moment in the character’s history.
Vampirella stands as one of the most beautiful and powerful female characters in comics for over five decades. Vampirella is love!
Vampirella has a long history of diverse and inclusive romance in her comics, and legendary writer Christopher Priest has continued that legacy in his tenure and continuing into #666 and the stories it kicks off.
Her earliest stories in the Warren era pushed against the mainstream thanks to their black and white magazine format, which allowed artists like Jose Gonzalez to depict more sensuality in his stunning style. Through the years the Daughter of Drakulon is often seen paired with Adam Van Helsing. Though in her 2017 series by Paul Cornell, Jeremy Whitley, Jimmy Broxton, Andy Belanger, and others, Vampirella’s pansexuality and relationship with Vicki are explored.
During Priest’s run, starting with her 50th anniversary in 2019, Vampirella has become entangled with friends and lovers like Victory, Mother Mary, and later her marriage to Matthew Ecsed in Unholy. Dynamite invites fans to pick up #666 this Valentine’s Day to see how the iconic heroine’s experiences in love and passion continue in this new era, as she marches toward her 700th comic book!
Vampirella #666 kicks off the new “Beyond” story arc by Christopher Priest and acclaimed Turkish artist Ergün Gündüz. The unique anniversary issue boasts 40 pages, premium cardstock covers, and a rare bonus story presenting a gem of a silent short story by Priest and Alan Davis.
