Yeah, I know that we’ve still got two more to go on the list of prefabricated villains, but today, I had to take a second and tell you the best use of $20 that I know of right now.
Vampirella: Crimson Chronicles Maximum TP, Vol. 1
Don’t laugh. This thing is fantastic. It collects every story from Vampirella Magazine # 1 -37 , and fits perfectly on your shelf next to your Marvel Essentials and DC Showcases.
Most of these stories were written by the late, great Archie Goodwin and pretty much read just like Marvel Comics’ horror stories, which I love, so score one big point. But for me, really, the big surprise was the stunning art by Jose Gonzalez. Truth is, I’d barely even heard of him before I picked up this book, but now, I’d probably include him as one of my all time favorites. I just can’t believe he’s not more widely recognized by the greater comics community.
Anyway, if you’re like me, and have maybe wondered in the past how Vampirella got to be so popular (y’know, besides the obvious reasons…), then look no further than this collection for your answer, folks.
If I’ve peeked your curiosity, pick it up. Tales of Wonder.com even has it on sale.
Prefab villain number two coming at you tomorrow.
Peace out.
