Vampirella’s eighth paperback archive includes issues #50-56 from the original Vampirella magazine series, as released originally by Warren Publishing. These stories were originally released from spring through winter of 1976. Each of the exhilarating eight volumes so far can be read and enjoyed in any order, compiling a large slice of tales featuring the titular vampiress as well as a range of anthology yarns from horror, science fiction, fantasy, and other genres. This book rounds out to well over 300 pulse-pounding pages featuring gorgeous artwork across the board in the classic Warren tradition. The seventh volume featured the start of writer Bill DuBay‘s tenure as the primary architect of Vampi’s ongoing adventures, with a mix of Jose Gonzalez, Gonzalo Mayo, Esteban Maroto, and others, plus a retold origin story. A ninth volume to follow this one will be anchored by yet another, even bigger full issue Vampirella story by Gerry Boudreau, Gonzalo Mayo, and Carmine Infantino. Fans can also look forward to some tales of the raven-haired anti-heroine by writer Roger McKenzie, who played a pivotal role in the evolution of Daredevil.”
