About Vampirella:
Vampirella is a fictional vampire superheroine created by Forrest J Ackerman and comic book artist Trina Robbins in Warren Publishing’s black-and-white horror comics magazine Vampirella #1 (Sept. 1969), a sister publication of Creepy and Eerie.
Writer-editor Archie Goodwin later developed the character from horror-story hostesses, in which capacity she remained through issue #8 (Nov. 1970), to a horror-drama leading character. The magazine was published continuously until 1983, when Warren Publishing ceased operations and its assets were bought by Harris Publications. Vampirella comics, both new and reprints, have continued through various publishers into the 21st century.
On March 17, 2010, Dynamite Entertainment acquired the rights to Vampirella from Harris Comics. The publisher started a new ongoing series with Vampirella #1, in November 2010. A new monthly series, Vampirella and the Scarlet Legion, was released in May 2011 following the main title. The series lasted 38 issues before concluding in January 2014.
She fought Purgatori in Vampirella vs Purgatori (2020), leading into Purgatori’s own comic series in 2021.

Artist Information
Joseph Michael Linsner is an American comic book writer/artist, known as the creator of the mature-audiences supernatural character Dawn, and for his illustrations of female characters. He is a popular cover artist in the comics industry. Linsner was born in Queens, New York, one of three brothers. His father died when Joseph was 14 years old. Linsner grew up with a fascination for Batman, the X-Men, Conan the Barbarian and the pinup artist Alberto Vargas. Later influences included Alan Moore, Pat Mills and David Cronenberg. Linsner introduced the lingerie-wearing occult character Dawn in Cry for Dawn, a nine-issue series self-published by Linsner and Joseph M. Monks’ Cry for Dawn Productions (CFD), beginning in 1989. Linsner broke into mainstream comics drawing the cover of Justice League Quarterly #13 (Winter 1993). CFD dissolved in the spring of 1994, and Linsner moved Dawn to Sirius Entertainment for several limited series and one-shots. JML’s Marvel Comics work includes the one-shot Killraven #1 (Feb. 2001), several covers for the company’s mid-2000s Mystique series, and painted covers and interior penciling and inking for the Wolverine-Black Cat three-issue limited series Claws (Oct-Dec, 2006), followed in 2011 by the three-issue limited series Wolverine & Black Cat: Claws 2 (Aug.–Nov., 2011). In 2002, Linsner self-published I Love New York, a benefit book for the American Red Cross following the September 11 attacks; the comic presents his perceptions as a native New Yorker on that day. Image Comics released the 176-page paperback The Art of Joseph Michael Linsner in October 2003. Linsner created the cover of Dark Fantasy Productions’ Dark Fantasy #1 (1994). He also produced the cover of the crossover one-shot Witchblade/The Punisher #1 (June 2007). JML has also painted comic book cover art for Topps Comics, Dark Horse Comics and others. He created his first cover for Dynamite Entertainment in 2007 (Red Sonja), and since 2012 has been one of the company’s most prolific cover artists, mainly for its collections of comics featuring such licensed characters as Red Sonja, Vampirella, Bettie Page, Elvira: Mistress of the Dark, Dejah Thoris and Jennifer Blood.
