The Daughter of Drakulon is set to enjoy a sun-soaked showcase this July with the release of Vampirella Summer Special 2026 from Dynamite Entertainment.
Even immortal vampires (or is she an alien? both!) need a little bit of time off for rest and relaxation. Diehard fans know too that Drakulonians do not share the weakness to sunlight that traditional undead vampires do, so she’s totally clear to hit the beach. But despite being shore-compatible, other parts of Vampirella’s life inevitably lead to complications in even the best planned vacation getaways!
Suddenly in “Rising from the Ashes” the raven-haired, sharp-toothed antiheroine finds herself a whopping 2,000 years in the past. Immediately up to her eyes in drama – instead of the surf she was relishing – it’ll only get even crazier when the nearby volcano starts rumbling and is certainly not dormant. Vampi was looking for an island getaway, and she’s getting more than she bargained for!
The extra-sized special issue is written by Erica Shultz (Charmed, Xena) with art from Adriana Melo (Birds of Prey, Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy), and will be available with a main cover by Melo, variant from Shannon Maer, and cosplay variant featuring CucumberCosplay; check them out here along with some early interior inks…
Vampirella Summer Special 2026 is set for release in July 2026.
