Vampirella vs. Dracula #1
This collection brings together the 2012 Dynamite Entertainment miniseries pitting the iconic horror hostess against her most famous adversary. Written by Joe Harris with art by Eman Casallos, the story follows Vampirella as she confronts a resurrected Dracula who threatens to unleash a new reign of terror. The volume collects all three issues of the series, offering a standalone battle between two of horror's most enduring characters.
In "The New European," Vampirella finds herself caught between ancient legends and a modern threat as Dracula reveals the Order of the Dragon's plan to replace him with her in an eternal struggle. Set across time, the story unfolds with a chilling journey through the past, where Vampirella is transported by the Szgany, and a desperate survival tale that ends with a haunting whisper and a fateful departure. Written by Joe Harris and illustrated by Ivan Rodriguez, with colors by Adriano Lucas and letters by Marshall Dillon, the cover by Joseph Michael Linsner captures the dark elegance of this clash of myth and destiny.
In a chilling echo across time, Vampirella and Jack Halloran race to unravel a pattern mirroring the tale of Dracula—only to find themselves trapped in its grim repetition. As past and present collide, the ghosts of 1941 rise again, where Jonathan Harker leads a desperate hunt, and a grieving Dracula faces a loss that may have sealed his fate long before the first page.
In a haunting loop across centuries, the shadows of love and loss echo through time. When Mina Harker willingly steps into Dracula’s embrace, and Jonathan Harker leads a desperate charge with Vampirella, the past feels eerily familiar—especially to her, who senses a pattern she can’t name. The castle holds secrets older than memory, and the same names keep returning, as if fate itself is repeating its darkest chapters.
In modern New York, Jack Halloran feels the past shifting as Dracula begins rewriting history. Meanwhile, Vampirella is pulled into 1897 Transylvania, where she seeks the Order of the Dragon and encounters Drina, a Szgany gypsy who claims Dracula longs to escape the endless cycle of his own legend.
In a chilling blend of past and present, Dracula reveals to Jack Halloran the Order of the Dragon’s dark design to replace him with Vampirella in an eternal struggle. Flashing back to a storm-lashed mountain pass, Drina, Jack, and a captive Vampirella survive a deadly ambush by the Szgany, where a fateful bite and a whispered word seal a legacy older than time. As Dracula reclaims Vampirella, the threads of destiny tighten—what role will each of them play in the next chapter?
In a chilling twist of fate, Vampirella finds herself at the center of a centuries-old power struggle when the Order of the Dragon demands she take Dracula’s place. As the past unfolds in flashes—revealing a 1462 battle against the Turks—her actions clash with Dracula’s legacy, forcing both to confront who truly commands the darkness.
In a twisted reversal of fate, Vampirella now stands where Dracula once did—powerful, poised, and at the center of a dark legacy. When Dracula himself launches a brutal assault on the castle to reclaim his narrative, it’s Jack Halloran, the reluctant Harker, who must choose sides as the line between hero and villain blurs. With Drina and Mia Halloran caught in the storm, the battle isn’t just for survival—it’s for who gets to write the story.
In "The New European," war correspondent Jack Halloran’s correspondence with the enigmatic Mr. Dragunsun takes a chilling turn when he arranges passage for the man to America—only to realize too late that the letters he’s been writing are part of a terrifying modern retelling of a classic horror. With Mia Halloran and Lucy Westenra caught in the growing storm, Jack must confront the horrifying truth that the myth of Dracula is not just alive, but walking among them.
