The Vampirella Monthly series was one of the longest and most exciting Vampi series so far, traversing 4 years and taking Vampi to new heights. Although the continuity of the stories continued, each set of two or three issues made up a mini-series on its own, and was introduced by an ashcan. That meant a lot of ashcans. This first group takes us up to the World's End series in Vampirella Monthly #12 - #15. |
