‘Sabrina The Teenage Witch X Vampirella’ To Bring Spooky Summer Vibes To The Winter Season
by Erik Amaya
The holidays are still the spooky season for Sabrina Spellman.
Greendale’s favorite teenage witch will cross paths with the Daughter of Drakulon in Sabrina the Teenage Witch X Vampirella, the next collaboration between Dynamite and Archie Comics. At the helm: writer Tini Howard and artists Bill and Ben Galvan.
Desiring a real summer vacation, Sabrina’s aunts arrange for her and Salem to house-sit by the sea side. Of course, the neighbors make her wary of using any magic abilities. But one person a few doors down has no problem with such things: Vampirella. And she finds a kindred spirit in the half-witch Sabrina, who matches Vampi’s own half-vampire status. Will she also prove to be a good ally when a new challenge threatens both of their beach day getaways?
“I love Vampi — as a goth girl growing up her look and vibe was always important to me. I think Nancy Collins’ work was some of the first I ever read about her and I love her voice under Nancy’s pen — smart and curious but also clever and funny in a very cool way,” Howard said in a statement. “As for Sabrina, Chilling Adventures is one of those comics that inspired me so much, I had no idea that kind of reinvention was possible. Getting to write a version of Sabrina that is an exploration of her dark powers with the look of a classic Archie beach party is so much fun.”
Supporting the debut issue are covers from the Galvans, Eric Powell, Francesco Francavilla, Sebastián Píriz, and Mike Rooth. And, of course, blind bag variants will also be available.
Sabrina the Teenage Witch X Vampirella #1 arrives in stores this winter.
