Recently, Marvel announced their entry into the “blind bag” world following publishers like Skybound and Dynamite. Now, Dynamite Entertainment has announced a limited-time Kickstarter offering fans and collectors fun blind bags filled with surprises and hot exclusives celebrating five decades of Vampirella with the Vampirella Blind Bag Extravaganza. The campaign is live now for backers to reserve their hauls! It’s also another example of Kickstarter’s shift from their intended use of funding projects to be created to a general store.
Mystery blind bags have exploded in popularity for collectors in recent years as a thrilling way for fans to secure some great collectible comics and add some excitement to their hunting. Dynamite Entertainment and sister company Dynamic Forces have been leaders in comics and collectibles for over 30 years collectively. Now for the first time ever, Dynamite is pulling together these high-end collector’s sets packed with exclusives!
Priced at $100 each, these mystery bags are packed with six comics guaranteed to have a minimum value of $250, and they could exceed upwards of $500 with rare variants, premiums, ashcans, trading cards, and more. With items pulled from across the landscape of Vampirella’s publishing history at Dynamite to celebrate her 55-plus years of history, there’s something incredible for every bag and fan.
Each bag will have one high-end book; either a metal, foil, or rainbow holofoil variation on a gorgeous cover from a top artist. Superstars who could have their variants in the bags include J. Scott Campbell, Alex Ross, Frank Cho, Jenny Frison, Lucio Parrillo, Joe Madureira, Mark Spears, Peach Momoko, and many others.
Then each bag features a stunning cover by Emanuela Lupacchino originally done for Vampirella #21 but never actually circulated, recovered from the archives. Four versions of this cover exist, a full trade dress, a virgin, one with Emanuela’s inks showcased, and a black and white virgin variant.
A fun addition to each blind bag is a “buy back book,” which are back issues recovered from the secondary market by Dynamite and now stamped and signed by CEO and Publisher Nick Barrucci.
Blank covers from Dynamite’s Authentix line will be added, with a few lucky fans getting ones featuring sketches by fan favorite Ken Haeser.
The most recent hit release included in each bag will be a hard to find ashcan for Vampirella #1 from March 2025, with behind the scenes details and process on the new phase of Christopher Priest’s legendary run on the character. Multiple versions of the ashcan exist, with covers by Mark Spears and Lucio Parrillo, also with “virgin” editions without trade dress. Some of these ashcans sell for over $100 on eBay and other channels.
Last but certainly not least, each bag also gets a limited edition collectors promo trading card, with metal and enhanced editions possible. Blank sketch cards ready to be illustrated on by great artists may also be included.
Each item in this set has been carefully curated to celebrate the Daughter of Drakulon’s legacy with premium inclusions and limited stock to offer to the most discerning collectors. Pledge now to lock in your blind bag before they’re gone forever!
