Sword of Dracula/Vampirella: Extended and Dangerous
by Jason Henderson, Greg Scott, Nick Filardi, covers by Tony Harris and Michael DiPascale
When Dracula, the world’s most dangerous terrorist, loses a key vampire witness to Ronnie Van Helsing of the Polidorium, it’s an all-out war of vampires, guns, trucks and RPGs to get the witness back. And into the middle rides Vampirella, who is picking a side all her own. But will Vampirella and Ronnie’s mysterious past tilt the balance in Dracula’s favor?

Sword Of Dracula Creator Jason Henderson continues his publicity tour with another great interview at NEWSARAMA.

NRAMA: Just to clarify, Sword of Dracula/Vampirella: Extended and Dangerous is actually an extension of the short story that appeared in two issues of Vampirella Magazine, correct?

JH: Right, hence the name. It’s actually more new than old, though. Greg and I did a short story for Vampirella Magazine where Ronnie teamed up with Vampirella. When Greg expressed that he wanted to come back to Sword of Dracula and do one-shots, we realized we should probably start with Vampi, since there was so much more we could do there. For instance we could make it more about Dracula.

What happens in SOD/Vampi: Extended and Dangerous is that Ronnie raids a train that Dracula is traveling on with his court; her intention is to steal one witness, one vampire who can give her information about a secret new operator in the SOD world. Getting the witness off the train is like Mission: Impossible, fighting with vampires on the top of trains with choppers swooping in. Remember that Drac’s powers as manifested here are that he controls blood, he can sense the slightest cut, and he can throw chains of blood from his own body at you. There are pages of the whole that appeared before, but overall it is a new story. After that, it’s straight on to more Greg & Jason done-in-ones.

Comicon’s: The Pulse has a great interview with Jason Henderson. In the interview Jason talks about his upcoming Sword of Dracula/Vampirella: Extended and Dangerous edition, set to hit the spinner racks this Fall, plus a Lost Boys retrospective and how important it is to give blood!

THE PULSE: Speaking of Dracula, how did he come to meet Vampirella in the upcoming Sword of Dracula/Vampirella: Extended and Dangerous?

HENDERSON: In this story, Ronnie Van Helsing is as usual the one who has most of the dealings with Dracula—Ronnie and Vampirella are competing for the same bounty, a vampire witness that Dracula has under protection. In this world, Dracula and the other Princes operate like Al Capone, occasionally having to move vampires under cover, fighting to steal them from one another if they possess valuable information.

The new Diamond Previews catalog hits on August 29th and we have some goodies you need to buy!

First up is Visions of BloodRayne, a squarebound, prestige format 56 page book of nothing but the best of the best in covers and pinups. We’re even thinking of adding some sort of cover enhancement to really make this stand out. This is a true collectible for any BloodRayne fan. If you miss this, you’re going to miss a very hot book!

Next up is the return of Sword of Dracula. To help bring some attention to the launch, we brought along everyone’s favorite vampire from another planet; Vampirella. This issue also marks the return of original Sword of Dracula artist Greg Scott back to the title he’s known for. Is this how you relaunch a comic or what?

And last but not least; Digital Webbing Presents readers are already familiar with the bounty hunter from the future known as Crazy Mary. This issue collects all the stories from the long-running anthology. Crazy Mary’s first appearance was one of the first issue’s of DWP to sell out so this is your chance to experience her story if you missed it the first time.

Don’t forget to ask for Digital Webbing comics at your local comic shop! There are tons of shops out there who do stock our books, it’s true! I hear from the owners directly! For the shops that don’t stock ‘em, ask for them because they probably don’t know you want the books!

The original team from the hit Image Comics series is back for the Sword of Dracula relaunch! This November from Digital Webbing Press debuts Sword of Dracula/Vampirella: Extended and Dangerous.

Why the ‘extended’ in the name? A couple years ago, Harris Publishing ran a 10 page Sword/Vampi crossover in Vampirella magazine written by creator Jason Henderson and illustrated by Greg Scott. In this new one-shot, not only are we expanding the story to a full-length 22 pager, it’ll also be, for the first time, in full-glorious color by Joel Sequin.

Basically we blackmailed Greg Scott, who’s been busy on titles like Boom Studio’s X Isle, Enigma Cipher, and Fall of Cthulhu. Die-hard Sword of Dracula fans will remember Greg started the now classic Image Comics run. So, needless to say, there wasn’t too much blackmailing necessary because Greg has been itching to work on more Sword of Dracula.

This “Extended and Dangerous” one-shot will be available in November from Digital Webbing Press and sports a great cover by Eisner Award-Winning artist Tony Harris. Don’t miss it!
