• Vampirella
  • Vampirella: The Essential Warren Years Vol. 1 – Think of this as a Vampirella Epic Collection (except B&W like the original). The first ~5 years of the magazine, just the Vampirella stories and featuring scripts by Archie Goodwin and Steve Englehart
  • Vampirella Archives – The complete contents of the original magazines
  • Vampirella Masters – Harris Comics material including work by Grant Morrison, Mark Millar, Kurt Busiek, Warren Ellis, Alan Moore and Mike (MR) Carey

  • Vampirella (’19-’21) – Christopher Priest / Ergün Gündüz
  • Vampirella/Dracula: Unholy – Christopher Priest / Donny Hadiwidjaja
  • Sacred Six – Christopher Priest / Julius Ohta
  • Draculina – Christopher Priest / Michael Sta. Maria

Yes, there’s some variety to the horror and some new creations in the mix. We would also note that a certain Mr. Straczynski was a story editor on the 80s revival of The Twilight Zone.

We’ve been meaning to continue on with the Priest Vampirella run. The first volume was interesting.

Something Might Be Up at DC

   

There’s no formal sale up that we’re seeing, but we’re also noticing a flurry of price changes at DC. Some of it’s the usual 5% fluctations common to Amazon. Some of it is volumes dropping from $12.99 to $9.99, which is also normal. But a few of the larger volumes (more than 6 issues collected) have also been dropping.  Examples:

• Crisis on Infinite Earths – Marv Wolfman / George Perez – $9.99
• Legion of Super-Heroes: The Great Darkness Saga – Paul Levitz / Keith Giffen – $9.99
• Swamp Thing: The Bronze Age: Volume 1 – Len Wein / Bernie Wrightson – $9.99

Might be nothing, might be another pricing experiment (DC sure seems to love these since they hired new digital people), might be ramping up for a new sale next week. Hard to say, but keep your eyes open. $9.99 isn’t a great price for those sorts of books, but it’s better than they’re often priced.

Unannounced Sales

As always, it isn’t clear when the unannounced sales will end.

Dark Horse has applied discounts to their Star Wars line of comics:

• Star Wars
• Star Wars: The High Republic Adventures

Dark Horse is still having a sale on Frank Miller’s Sin City, Miller’s hugely influential hardboiled series.

Dark Horse is also still having a sale on Geoff Darrow’s Shaolin Cowboy. Darrow is very nearly a genre unto himself and if you want extra detail in your art and double the action, he might be your huckleberry.
