Dynamite Entertainment is running a Kickstarter campaign, featuring the work of Kristina Deak-Linsner and Joseph Michael Linsner on Vampirella: Roses for the Dead, with a limited edition, collectible box set.

Following the Vampirella/Dawn crossover event, Vampirella is back with a new, solo series, and Linsner is penciling her from a script written by Kristina Deak-Linsner. To celebrate the series' upcoming launch, Dynamite is offering all five covers of issue #1, and two exclusive prints (one signed by Linsner), collected inside a magnetic-closing box, featuring Linsner's artwork, inside and out.

You can pre-order this box set on Kickstarter between now and June 3rd to get perks and additional add-ons that will only be available to Kickstarter backers.

Linsner says:

"I've always been attracted to characters who are "bad for good" meaning that at first they may look like villains, but they are really heroes. Batman is kind of like that. Vampirella, a genuine vampire, is definitely like that. She lives by consuming blood, but she has a mission. She stands up for the innocents of the world and only drinks the blood of the guilty. Hell, they deserve it. I'm also thrilled being the artist chosen to illustrate the first series written by my talented wife, Kristina Deak-Linsner. Over the years, Kristina has told me many of her ideas for stories. I think it is great that she is finally going to be sharing them with the world."

When asked about what makes her excited about the project, Deak-Linsner added:

"I wanted to write something that harkens back to the Warren days but with a new twist. I think any reader, whether familiar with Vampirella or not, can dive right into this series and instantly get a feel for what is happening. The setting takes place in Philadelphia (my town) and the historical architecture mixed among a modern landscape has such a great schizophrenic feel. I truly hope everyone enjoys it."

In addition to Vampirella #1, Kickstarter backers will also be able to pre-order their copy of the 2019 Vampirella poster calendar which features 50 years of historical Vampirella artwork, including a piece by Linsner. The over-sized calendar measures 24.5" X 12". To find our more information, check out the Kickstarter campaign.
