Vampirella (2nd series) ashcans

The most interesting thing about the manga ashcans is that they are exclusive - in other words they don't introduce a story in the main comic line - they are the main story. Both Manga 2999 and Manga 3000 ashcans contain stories that cannot be found anywhere else. 

The other thing is that both 2999 and 3000 were produced with a leather limited edition as well as the regular ashcan, although I don't think that means anything special. For me the best bit is that the writers include Seth Biederman, one of the Harris staff who wrote the original Harris Horrornet for all those fans with e-mail and who has helped me tremendously with information for this site.
