Dynamite Tuesday: The Best Of Vampirella Magazine Art Edition

Published Tue, 21 Jun 2016 13:00:24 -0500

The penultimate announcement for Dynamite Tuesday features a new artist edition, but this one is focused on the Best of Vampirella Magazine.

The Best of Vampirella Magazine is a hardcover treasury of actual storyboard artwork scanned in high-resolution color to capture the look of the artwork as originally illustrated, with all blue lines, corrections, editorial notes, and other distinctive creative elements intact. Each scan is then printed on heavy stock paper to give readers a more realistic experience of what it would be like to hold actual storyboard pages.

Over a dozen tales appear in their entirety, stories ranging from Vampirella Magazine #9 (January 1971) to issue #112 (October 1979). Featuring contributions from such comic luminaries as Jeffrey Jones, Auraleon, Jose Ortiz, and Luis Bermejo (to name a few), this hardcover Art Edition preserves and celebrates the meticulous skill and hard work of the artists that defined the horror comic medium!

This oversized edition features over 150 pages of art, and includes the following Vampirella Magazine stories in their completion:
