Dynamite Entertainment has announced a new Vampirella series, Vampirella: Dead Flowers, by Sara Frazetta, granddaughter of artist Frank Frazetta. The younger Frazetta will co-write the series with Bob Freeman, and she will also be the cover artist; Alberto Locatelli will be the interior artist. The first issue, due out in October 2023, will feature additional covers by Lucio Parrillo, Collette Turner, Ergün Gündüz, and Locatelli, as well as a cosplay cover featuring Rachel Hollon and a special presentation of Frazetta’s painted cover for the first issue of Warren Publishing’s Vampirella magazine.
In addition, Dynamite plans to publish a facsimile edition of Warren’s first Vampirella magazine with a new cover by Matt DiMasi that turns Frank Frazetta’s original into a mosaic. The interior will be the same as the original, a 64-page magazine with work by Neal Adams, Reed Crandall, Tom Sutton, and Ernie Colon.
Dynamite is also publishing a comics prequel to the film Fire and Ice, which was developed from Frazetta’s art (see “Bill Willingham to Write Prequel Comic to Frazetta & Bakshi’s ‘Fire and Ice’”).
