Vampirella #25 Tripled Numbers At FOC, Dynamite Prints 75,000 Copies

Published Wed, 20 Oct 2021 08:27:11 -0500

Vampirella #25 went to Final Order Cut-Off for comic book retailers this weekend, We mentioned it on our regular Thank FOC column. Now we get the news that retailer orders for the anniversary issue and the marriage of Vampirella to Dracula, as written by Christopher Priest, drawn by Ergun Gunduz, and published by Dynamite, jumped from initial orders of 20,385 to over 60,000, tripling its orders. And Dynamite Entertainment, sure of a hit on their hands, have set a print run of 75,000 to cover any other interest after the comic in question is published. That's a massive number for Dynamite, for Vampirella, and for Christopher Priest, who remains one of the finest comic book writers working together, even if his talent is not always as appreciated as it should be. Still, at least he doesn't have to go back to working the buses. And this also marks his final issue, and the final issue of the series… with a new Vampirella series to launch in December, Vampirella/Dracula Unholy.
