Vampirella (/væmpɪˈrɛlə/) is avampiresuperheroine created byForrest J Ackerman and comic book artistTrina Robbins inWarren Publishing's black-and-whitehorror comicsmagazineVampirella #1 (Sept.1969), a sister publication ofCreepy andEerie.[1]
Writer-editorArchie Goodwin later developed the character fromhorror-story hostesses, in which capacity she remained through issue #8 (Nov. 1970), to ahorror-dramaleading character.[2] The magazine was published continuously until 1983, when Warren Publishing ceased operations and its assets were bought byHarris Publications.[3]Vampirella comics, both new and reprints, have continued through various publishers into the 21st century.
Vampirella initially appeared inWarren Publishing's black-and-whitehorror-comics magazineVampirella #1 (Sept. 1969), running to issue #112 (March 1983),[4] plus a 1972annual reprinting stories from the series,[5] and a 1977 special with color reprints ofJosé González stories.[6] The title was a sister magazine of Warren'shorror anthologiesCreepy andEerie. Like those magazines' respective mascots,Uncle Creepy andCousin Eerie, Vampirella hosted horror stories, though unlike them, she would also star in her own story, which would headline each issue.Vampirella was initially edited by Bill Parente. It was later edited byArchie Goodwin (issues #7–12, 34–35),Billy Graham (#13–16),Bill DuBay (#21–50, 87–95, 101–102) andLouise Jones (#51–86).
According to comics historian Richard J. Arndt, "Forrest Ackerman created, or at least had a strong hand in creating, Vampirella and he clearly had a major influence in shaping the lighthearted bad-girl story style of this issue as well." Her costume and hair style were designed by comics artistTrina Robbins. The character's first story artist wasTom Sutton. ArtistFrank Frazetta's first-issue cover was a substitute for the original cover by European artistAslan.[7]
José González became the character's primary artist starting with issue #12. Other artists who drew Vampirella during her magazine's original run included Gonzalo Mayo,Leopold Sanchez,Esteban Maroto,José Ortiz,Escolano,Rudy Nebres,Ramon Torrents,Pablo Marcos,Jimmy Janes, John Lakey, Val Lakey, and Louis Small Jr.
Backup features appearing inVampirella included "Tomb of the Gods", "Pantha" and "Fleur". Vampirella herself also appeared in a story with fellow Warren characters Pantha and theRook inEerie #94–95, and with most of the Warren characters in acompany crossover special inEerie #130.
Upon Warren's bankruptcy shortly afterward,Harris Publications acquired the company assets at auction in August 1983, although legal murkiness and a 1999 lawsuit by Warren publisher James Warren resulted in his reacquisition of the rights to sister publicationsCreepy andEerie.[8][9]Harris Comics published Vampirella stories in various series andminiseries from 1991 to 2007, beginning withVampirella #113 (1988), a one-issue continuation of the original series, containing Vampirella reprints and one unrelated new story.[10] Harris subsequently published the all-reprintone-shotVampirella vs. the Cult of Chaos,[11] and the four-issueminiseriesVampirella: Morning in America (Sept. 1991 - April 1992) by writerKurt Busiek and penciler Louis La Chance.[12] Three ongoing series followed:
The three-issue miniseriesVampirella Lives (Dec. 1996 – Feb. 1997) featured writerWarren Ellis and penciler Conner.[16]
Additionally, Harris published several one-shots:Vampirella Summer Nights (title per its trademarked cover logo) /Vampirella's Summer Nights (as in theindicia's copyright information) (1992), by writerSteve Englehart and penciler Joe Brozowski (under the pseudonym J. J. Birch),[17]Vampirella/Shadowhawk: Creatures of the Night (Feb. 1995),[18]Vampirella Pin-Up Special (Oct. 1995),[19] andVengeance of Vampirella: The Mystery Walk (Nov. 1995).[20]
Harris also published many reprints. The 1993trade-paperback collectionVampirella: The Dracula War reprinted a serialized story from Harris'Vampirella #1–4.[21][22] The 1994Cain / Vampirella Flip Book reprinted a 1993 Vampirella story by writer Busiek and artistArthur Adams from Harris'Creepy 1993 Fearbook.[23][24] The five-issueVampirella Classic (Feb.–Nov. 1995) reprinted Warren stories.[25]Vengeance of Vampirella: Bloodshed (March 1995) reprinted a serialized story from theVengeance of Vampirella series.[26]
The publisher additionally reprinted Warren stories in the trade paperbackVampirella: Transcending Time & Space (1992),[27][28]Vampirella: A Scarlet Thirst (1993),[29] andVampirella & The Blood Red Queen of Hearts (1996);[30] and the seriesVampirella of Drakulon #1–5, followed by #0 (Jan.–Nov. 1996).[31]
At theFangoria Weekend of Horrors convention in January 2007, Scott Licina,editor-in-chief ofFangoria Comics, announced his company had acquired the character from Harris.[32] However, on April 30, 2007, Harris editor Bon Alimagno denied there had been such an arrangement in place and that Fangoria's claim was "not factual".[33] Harris subsequently launched the titleVampirella Quarterly.
On March 17, 2010,Dynamite Entertainment acquired the rights to Vampirella from Harris Comics.[34] The publisher started a new ongoing series withVampirella #1, in November 2010. A new monthly series,Vampirella and the Scarlet Legion, was released in May 2011 following the main title.[35] The series lasted 38 issues before concluding in January 2014.

A fifth relaunch, written by Christopher Priest and Ergun Gündüz, began publication in July 2019 and commemorated the character's 50th anniversary.[38][39] The run lasted 25 issues long and ended with Vampirella's marriage to Dracula.[40] sixth relaunch happened on February 2024[41] and ended on March 2025 with a seventh relauch the same month.[42]
In 2019, Dynamite also revived the seriesVengeance of Vampirella, which had been the name of a Harris-era comic, and hired the original writer of that series, Thomas Sniegoski, to write a continuation of the original series for her 50th anniversary.[43]

Vampirella originally hails from the planet Drakulon, a world where blood flows like water and where the natives, called the Vampiri, share traditionally vampiric characteristics. Drakulon orbits a binary star which causes continuous droughts throughout the year. These droughts gradually dry up the Vampiri's blood supply; threatening them with extinction. Vampirella's journey begins when an American space shuttle crashes on Drakulon. Hoping to save her people, she travels to Earth and begins hunting dark remnants of her own race. Earth's vampires originate from Dracula, a forgotten member of the Vampiri race who left his homeworld centuries ago only to be corrupted by the demonic entity known as Chaos.[55]
After relaunching Vampirella with the miniseriesMorning In America, written byKurt Busiek, Harris Comics published the story "Mystery Walk", which revised Vampirella's origin. She learns she is, in fact, the daughter ofLilith, whom popularmedieval lore depicts as the first wife ofAdam. Lilith would not submit to Adam and, cast out ofEden by God, spawned demons. She later repented and went to Eden to bear children to fight the evil she had created. Her first attempt was Madek and Magdalene, who turned to evil; Vampirella was her second. Madek and Magdalene brainwashed her into believing she was from Drakulon.
Further retcons were presented inVampirella Lives and inBlood Lust. Drakulon is real, but is a place in Hell. Vampirella was brought to Eden, not born there. It was Lilith, not Madek and Magdalene, who made believe Drakulon was another planet. Vampirella restores the rivers of blood to Drakulon, which weakens Lilith, who is killed by the hand of God.
A further revision in the "World's End" storyline revealed Lilith did not really repent and raised Vampirella to be good because she wanted to release the Heart of Darkness (heart of the fallen angel Malkuth) fromMetatron's lance, which could only be done by a good person. Another retcon, inVampirella: Revelations, reveals the reason Lilith raised Vampirella to be good was that the existence of vampires made Lilith weaker and she wanted someone to kill them. Lilith used a magic mirror to make Vampirella believe whatever variation on her origin was necessary at the time.
In the initial Dynamite-published series, Vampirella works reluctantly with Dracula against a rebellious cult of his former followers. Acquiring Sofia Murray as her sidekick, Vampirella becomes involved in a plot by the Vatican that ultimately resurrects Von Kreist and leads to Sofia's death. Vampirella severs her ties with the Vatican and finds herself working for the forces of Order again. Reuniting with a resurrected Van Helsing, Pendragon, and other characters from the Warren Magazine run, Vampirella visits the future and discovers the world destroyed by the supernatural. Trying to form a supernatural kingdom to contradict this, Vampirella falls prey to a conspiracy by Dracula and a group of vampire knights that result in reality becoming unraveled. Lilith banishes Vampirella from her universe in order to save her.
Vampirella was relaunched withOur Lady Of Shadows as an agent of the Vatican before being relaunched again with a new costume inHollywood Horror under author Kate Leth. In this universe, Vampirella has recently come to Earth and become a Hollywood scream queen. She lives with her boyfriend Tristan and butler Coleridge.
After falling into a thousand-year sleep, Vampirella awakes in a bizarre, dystopian future, where she meets her new sidekick and girlfriend, Vicki, and a black cat she names Grit.[56] After going on a journey through her own mind, Vampirella learns she has absorbed all the memories and experiences of a hundred Vampirellas from parallel universes.[citation needed]
According to theHack/Slash series, Vampirella currently works as a radio talk show host and has several times teamed up with Cassie and her partner Vlad to stop demons and vampires instead of the standard slashers the series is known for. She and Vlad have an intense physical attraction and relationship, but broke up because his nomadic lifestyle did not mesh with hers.
In the 2019 version by Christopher Priest, the writer incorporated all the previous versions of the character's history to make a comprehensive revision of Vampirella's back story.[57] Vampirella has been on Earth for 50 years,[58] and Drakulon is an alternate version of Earth's moon. The alternate version of Earth is called Arcadia.[59] Drakulon and Arcadia were at war which caused Arcadia to die out and Drakulon became an archaic society. She has strained relationships with Lilith, Draculina, Victory (her one time girlfriend), and Chasity.[60] After Vampirella married Dracula, she had his child;[61] the baby was taken by Draculina but later returned to Vampirella.[62]
Vampirella possesses many of the typical powers of mythological vampires. She exerts super-strength when facing her opponents and can move so fast that she appears as a blur of motion.[63][64] Her senses are far beyond those of humans, allowing her to tell one's emotional state through their scent, hear things imperceptible to humans, and see clearly in total darkness.[63] She has increased athletic abilities and possesses stamina, reflexes, and agility beyond that of humans. Her healing factor grants her resilience, allows her to heal rapidly from her wounds, and makes her immune to Earthly illness and toxins. Feeding quickly restores her strength and health.
She has the power to grow a giant pair ofchiropteran wings to allow self-propelled flight. She can make her stare and even her voicehypnotic. She has been seen as having the ability to induce sexual arousal in males simply by being in their presence. She is shown to have the power oftelepathy as she was able to hear the voices of demons insideJackie Estacado's mind.[65]
She isimmortal. In addition to her supernatural abilities, Vampirella is a formidable hand-to-hand combatant and is shown to be skilled with modern-day firearms.[63][64]
Christopher Priest's world of Vampirella has been expanded in spinoffs. The first isSacred Six (2020), which follows Lilith, Vampirella's mother, protecting a vampire city with a team consisting of Nyx,Chastity, Pantha, Victory (who takes on the name Draculina), and Katie (the real Draculina).[66] Solo series were published for Nyx (2021),[67] Pantha (2022),[68] Draculina (2022), and Victory (2023).[69]
