Vampirella Necromance
Back in the day, somewhere in the mid 90’s I think, I did a bit of work for the then owners of the VAMPIRELLA property; HARRIS.
A few pin-ups, some photo covers and this short story by Warren Ellis.
I did a fairly uneven job as usual being that the material was interesting but luke warm/mediocre in it’s execution; as ever most comic book writers are not terribly good at writing from an erotic vantage point. [That is to say nothing about publishers incomprehensible choice to market a sexy, female, thong wearing, killer vampire to children as a superhero?! –which she is clearly NOT.]
Writing from an erotic vantage point requires one to have the nerve to expose ones psycho-sexual modality which comicbook creators are generally too insecure to do. [except, strangely, the fans whose fan-fiction is almost nothing but erotic fantasy!]
In any case; I am reworking, repainting and expanding this into a more developed tale.
In the meantime enjoy this visit to the wayback machine when comics could have become what they ought to have and not the stale, wrong footed, mediocre pc garbage the current players have made them.
