VAMPIRELLA #1-13 (Nancy Collins / Patrick Berkenkotter)

[Jack]

Pour les 45 ans de Vampirella, l’éditeur Dynamite relancera la série en juin avec la romancière Nancy A. Collins et le dessinateur Patrick Berkenkotter aux manettes. Le premier arc « Our Lady of Shadows » verra la célèbre vampire enquêter sur la disparition d’une enfant pour le compte du Vatican.

L’artiste Terry Dodson se chargera des couvertures régulières, tandis que Jenny Frison, Sergio Fernandez Davila, Jack Jadson, Mimi Yoon, Ken Haeser, et Stephanie Buscema réalisent les couvertures variantes du premier numéro.

Nancy A. Collins has spent the last twenty years writing novels, short stories, and comic books for fans of the supernatural, paranormal, and fantastical. Her prose works include Sunglasses After Dark, featuring punk vampire slayer Sonja Blue, the YA series Vamps, a collection of Weird Western tales called Dead Man’s Hand, and a collection of Southern Gothic stories entitled Knuckles & Tales. Her comic book work includes Swamp Thing, Jason vs. Leatherface, Machina Jones, and Predator: Hell Come A’Walkin.

Artist Patrick Berkenkotter is a staple of Dynamite Entertainment, having contributed artwork to such titles as Red Sonja, Dark Shadows/Vampirella, Project: Superpowers, and two Dynamite/Marvel crossovers, Avengers/Invaders and The Torch. « I cannot sing Vampirella artist Patrick Berkenkotter’s praises loudly of often enough, » says Collins. « His pencils are spectacular, and he’s able to make her sexy, menacing, and bad-ass all at the same time. I think the fans are going to be pleased with his work when they pick up Vampirella #1, and I hope they take me to heart as well. » "My first exposure to Nancy’s writing was in the pages of Swamp Thing, and I’ve always remembered her run. When Gail (Simone) suggested Nancy to write one of the anniversary stories in Legends of Red Sonja, it was a great reminder of how good of a writer Nancy is. As we were prepping for Vampirella’s relaunch, and were discussing potential writers, Joe (Rybandt, Sr. Editor) commented that since we all liked Nancy’s Red Sonja story, why not approach her.
