NYCC 2024: Dynamite's Vampirella Hits Milestone

NYCC 2024 Dynamite Entertainment Vampirella 675 001

The Daughter of Drakulon is celebrating another huge historic moment, as she comes up on Vampirella #675! Dynamite is excited to announce this celebratory milestone special release, with another essential chapter in the long-running epic run by the legendary Christopher Priest, a set of show-stopping variant covers, and more as the march to #700 continues!

Following the status quo-shattering events of "The Dark World" story arc (issues #671-674), Vampirella's analyst Doc Chary is brought before a review board to explain his conduct with his bizarre patient. How can he explain his alleged "enabling" of her "vampire fetish"-inspired paracosm to those who do not know the deeper, darker truths of her life and backstory?

Chary will reveal to fans a never-before-seen episode of the raven-haired antiheroine's life in which Vampi was committed to a mental institution for a 72-hour observation period. Across those three fateful days, several people wound up being murdered — but is Vampirella to blame?

For this milestone issue, the legendary Christopher Priest is joined by acclaimed artist Aaron Felizmenio and lettering by industry veteran Willie Schubert. The creative team ring in the New Year with a chilling tale of blood and madness like no other.

To celebrate this momentous juncture, paving the road to #700, a squad of skilled artists have assembled to pay homage through stunning variant covers. Leading the pack is the heralded return of Jenny Frison, who remains a fan-favorite among the character's fans for her beloved run of covers a decade ago for the run by Nancy A. Collins. Since then she's only become even more of a superstar, and this may be her best vision of Vampirella yet! She's joined by stalwarts Lucio Parrillo, Joseph Michael Linsner, and cosplayer Rachel Hollon. Plus, Elias Chatzoudis whips up a special New Year's 2025 cover!

This issue is at once a critical chapter of Priest's ongoing epic and the perfect jumping-on point for new and returning readers. It is a standalone chapter break between major story arcs, revealing an untold tale of the Drakulonian's twisted life and acting as a primer explaining who Vampirella is and the basic dynamics of this series. What follows the next month will only ramp things up even more for the next major era of the character, the return of modern signature artist Ergün Gündüz, and more big surprises. More details to be revealed soon!
