Anthologie Vampirella #1

A gorgeous anthology edition from Delirium brings Vampirella to French readers in grand style, with a cover painting that places the dark-haired, crimson-costumed heroine front and center against a luminous full moon, a skull resting ominously at her feet. The painterly quality of the image — rich golds, deep shadows, and that striking figure — makes this a genuinely compelling object before you've even cracked the spine. At 29 EUR, this 2015 collection is a handsome introduction to one of horror comics' most enduring characters.
