Vampirella: Ascending Evil Ash Can

In 1997, Harris Comics released a single-issue ash-can preview titled Vampirella: Ascending Evil, offering an early look at a storyline that would define the character's '90s direction. Written by Grant Morrison and Mark Millar with art by Amanda Conner, this brief but potent glimpse set the stage for a darker, more mythic take on the vampire heroine. Though it stands alone as a one-shot, its creative pedigree—featuring two of comics' most celebrated modern writers alongside Conner's dynamic visuals—makes it a notable artifact of Vampirella's evolution.
