Vengeance of Vampirella #12

Lucio Parrillo's painted cover for Vengeance of Vampirella #12 is a lush, unsettling portrait of the dark queen herself — lips parted in a crimson smile as she tips a blood-filled martini glass to her mouth, her white ruffled blouse already stained with the evidence of her indulgence. A shadowy figure's hands reach around her from behind, adding a layer of menace to what is otherwise a moment of deeply unsettling pleasure. Dynamite's 2020 revival continues to lean into Vampirella's seductive danger, and Parrillo's photorealistic oil-painting style makes this one of the series' most striking covers yet.
