Priest’s Vampirella Presents “100th Anniversary” in a New Epic!

Posted on by

Dynamite Entertainment has announced the new phase in Christopher Priest‘s take on Vampirella, with a new series and perfect jumping-on point coming starting March 2025. Priest is joined by and reunited with the artist who started his run, Turkish virtuoso Ergün Gündüz.

The new story, “The Long Night” will introduce fans to parallel perspectives of the Daughter of Drakulon in the present dealing with a severe case of postpartum depression, even while finally reunited with her previously stolen infant son — and on the other hand a vision into a possible cataclysmic, cyberpunk future brought on by a bitter Vampi’s nuclear holocaust!

Attentive fans may recall mentions of “The Long Night” in previous issues of Priest’s run as a prophetic nightmare mentioned by Vampirella herself and other characters. It is akin to a “vampire Ragnarök” end of days, said to be brought on by a child of Lilith. When the demon Belial uttered it upon the birth of Draculina, the assumption was that it would be the fate of Vampi’s raven-haired, oft-evil sister — and not in fact herself. Priest’s other working title for this storyline was “Season of the Witch,” referencing the titular antiheroine’s spiral into darkness and transformation into the Witch of Ashthorne.

It all kicks into action in March’s Vampirella #1 — while keeping a dual “legacy numbering” along the march to #700, marking this issue also as #676 — as a mysterious man going by the name of Cicero appears in Vampirella’s life, claiming to be her son from the future. As a timeless vampiress, the Daughter of Drakulon’s life extends well past her 50-plus years of publication going back to 1969, yet she still appears young and vibrant. The same logic carries on to her son, with the twist that he’s come back from a time of her 100th anniversary!

Fans are invited to hop into this new series and celebrate this peek into Vampirella’s deep psyche as well as a dark future. The critically acclaimed team of Priest and Gündüz are back once more, joined with head-turning covers from the likes of Lucio Parrillo, Greg Land, Elias Chatzoudis, Jay Anacleto, and cosplayer Rachel Hollon. Rising superstar Mark Spears, beloved for his Monsters series, also contributes covers.
