Vampirella: Dead Flowers #1

Vampirella strides forward in full command on Lucio Parrillo's striking painted cover — her signature crimson costume and black boots set against a glowing full moon, one boot planted on a skull while bat-like wings loom in the shadowy background. It's a deliberately old-school composition, with Parrillo working "after Frazetta" as the cover itself acknowledges, honoring the character's roots while bringing a lush, painterly energy all his own. Writers Sara Frazetta and Bob Freeman team with artist Alberto Locatelli for this 2023 Dynamite series, and if the cover's confident, atmospheric mood is any indication, Dead Flowers is off to a compelling start.
