SUNGLASSES AFTER DARK: THE FULL-BLOODED COLLECTION To Ship 11/26/14

Vampire turned vampire hunter Sonja Blue travels the globe, hunting down and disposing of those creatures of the dark who prey upon the innocent, all the while searching for the monster that created her. But as dangerous as hunting the undead may be, it's nothing compared to the threat posed by The Other, the vampiric personality that shares her body.  Can Sonja Blue vanquish her very real inner demons in time to save an innocent man from a depraved televangelist?
 
Originally published as a mini-series by Glenn Danzig's Verotik Publications in 1995, this hardcover graphic novel from IDW Publishing collects all six issues plus a special ash-can and the short story "Aphra", which first appeared in the notorious Verotika #4 and has been digitally re-colored by artist Stan Shaw, with a re-tweaked script by author Nancy A.

Vampirella Annual: Prelude To Shadows in Stores Oct. 22nd

Before Vampirella was marked by the Cult of Chaos as a living sacrifice to Lady Umbra, the Queen of Shadows, she worked as an field operative for Cestus Dei, the Vatican's version of MI-6. In this one-shot, set before the "Our Lady of Shadows" story arc, Vampirella must go undercover at a French convent to investigate a series of weird deaths and odd disappearances believed to be the work of a long-dead evil witch known as Metifa, Satan's Mistress. That's right - one of the classic Warren-era menaces makes her Dynamite debut, 40+ years since her last appearance!

I wrote Prelude To Shadows as a tribute to Grindhouse 'eurotrash' such as Mario Bava's Black Sunday (1960), Juan L. Moctezuma's Alucarda (1977), and  Jess Franco's Venus In Furs (1969); Italian giallo cinema ala Dario Argento's Suspiria (1977) and Lucio Fulci's Don't Torture A Duckling (1972); as well as nunsploitation films like Ken Russell's The Devils (1971) and Gilberto Martínez Solares' Satanico Pandemonium (1975). I hope you enjoy it!

In stores October 22nd, just in time for Halloween!

Sunglasses After Dark, by award-winning author Nancy A.

While in London, American heiress Denise Thorne disappears from a nightclub, never to be seen again. On that very same night Sonja Blue, a tough-as-nails vampire hunter-slayer, conceived in terror and born of blood, rises from the city's gutters. Saved by modern medicine before she completed her transformation into one of the undead, she becomes a living vampire, determined to fight for what remains of her humanity.

 

Sonja Blue travels the globe, hunting down and disposing of the shadowy creatures that prey on the innocent while searching for the vampire who created her.
