That will depend on when the Vampirella fans got brought into her comics. I was first introduced to Vampirella back in the early 90's when the Vengeance run was being published by Harris. You can thank Wizard for pumping the whole "bad girl" craze at the time. Vengeance of Vampirella #4 was my first Vampi book and I collected her books regularly from that point on until the comic market crash. Even though I also collected the Vampirella cards during that time, I totally ignored the Warren books. I knew about the books, but somehow it just didn't appealed to me back then. It wasn't until I decided to get back into Vampirella several years ago, that I started to pay attention to the Warren books. Eventually I just took a leap of faith and started collecting them which I'm glad I did. Jose / Enric's artwork just grew on me. So in any case, if it wasn't the fact that I decided to give the Warren books a shot, I wouldn't be here posting in this thread today. I wouldn't be surprised if there's a good chunk of Vampi fans that got brought in during the Harris and Dynamite era that don't care much for the Warren era.

The only thing I would add is there are still collectors out there who don't think of magazines as "real" comics.

Popular Post Surfing Alien Posted February 3, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted February 3, 2022 Just in. These are real beauties, other than the tiny bindery tears on 104, they're razor sharp. The full length story in 73 is pretty wild and Mayo varied wildly in how much he "finished" the art. It must've been a hell of a deadline buster I bought the Vengeance Bloodfoil back when it came out in the '90's but really never wanted to collect the modern Vampi's. It was always the Warren's for me. They were a somewhat forbidden grail in my youth and the variety of artwork and secondary stories are awesome. Now I just get kinda pissed having to drill through a gazillion modern variants to find the vintage gold Stevemmg, Artifiction, Jayman and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Escaflown41 Posted February 3, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted February 3, 2022 For those that haven't gotten the "Art of Enric" book yet, it's a definite high recommend from me. There's so much Vampirella art in there that was never previously published that are absolutely amazing. Here's a few of them just to give you guys a taste...

I'm in the process of setting up another round of Vampirella sale on the boards within the next week or two. They're scattered throughout the run; oddly enough I'm missing most of the issues ending in "3". I should upgrade my 13, and I'm missing 43, 53, 63, 83, 93, and 103.

My collecting habits on Vampi other than the Warrens are very much down to either the creative team or, occasionally, a bonkers concept. When I changed my LCS because the owner of my old one retired, I actually mentioned at the new one that having 3 Vampi titles on my pull list was very unusual for me... but I wanted the Linsner Roses for the Dead series, I wanted the Christopher Priest written series, and I wanted Vampirella/ Red Sonja/ Betty/ Veronica because it was way too bonkers NOT to pick up. I also grabbed the Grant Morrison run back in the day, and will get neat covers now and then. The level on talent on Vampirella over the years has really been pretty incredible.

I'm just so removed from newer comics, they seem so flimsy and less substantive than my personal Golden Age ('60's - 80's ) lmao. I haven't bought new comics in years. I appreciate the art but just have limited time and $ and would rather spend my Boomer $ on my ages. I may be a poster child for why vintage sales are up while new titles are suffering OtherEric and Randall Dowling 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Call me a Vampi snob if you will but I consider THE definitive look of Vampirella to have that trademark “V” cut in her bangs as pictured above. Any other hairstyle just falls flat as it looks like a random brunette in a Vampi costume to me. Probably why I don’t particularly care for the Harris and Dynamite stuff.
