Vampirella # 1 Cover E 2019 Dynamite VF+

Vampirella # 1 2019 published by Dynamite Entertainment in July 2019, is the start of a brand-new, ongoing series launched to celebrate the character's 50th anniversary. The comic is written by Christopher Priest with art by Ergün Gündüz. 

The 2019 series was a major event for the character, marking five decades since her first appearance in July 1969. The new ongoing series aimed to reintroduce Vampirella to both new and old fans, featuring a contemporary take by a high-profile creative team. 

Creative Team 

• Writer: Christopher Priest (known for his work on Black Panther and Deathstroke)
• Artist: Ergün Gündüz
• Cover Artists: The issue featured a multitude of variant covers by popular artists, including a highly sought-after 1:50 B&W sketch variant by Alex Ross. 

The series picks up following a mysterious Free Comic Book Day #0 issue. The story in issue #1 continues to explore Vampirella's character in a nuanced way, straddling the line between good and evil as she deals with complex emotional and moral conflicts. Subsequent issues explore her complicated relationship with her mother, Lilith, and the aftermath of a major disaster. The narrative style, typical of Priest's work, focuses heavily on character development and non-linear storytelling rather than just action.
