Move over Sookie, Dynamite Entertainment has announced the August debut of Vampirella: Southern Gothic #1, the first book in a five-issue miniseries that will provide fans with a stand-alone Vampy adventure set against a swampy Mississippi background.  Mississippi native Nate Crosby (Cow Boy, Jim Henson’s The Storyteller) is writing the new series, while Jose Luis will provide the interiors.
 
In Southern Gothic, a wounded Vampirella heads to the Deep South where she reunites with an old flame and finds herself embroiled in a murder mystery that is thick with that old time religion and buckets of blood.
 
Vampirella Strikes artist Johnny Desjardins (see "Dynamite Announces New Vampy Comic") has created the main cover for the new series, and Dynamite has also produced a striking photo cover featuring model Kitana Baker.  The photo cover will be a Subscription-only photo variant, limited to retailer initial orders as a reward for dedicated Dynamite fans.
