Fantasy Feast
Jimmy Palmiotti and Amanda Conner

The story starts with Vampirella in a very unusual situation (for her, anyway) - sat on the toilet with her cozzy around her ankles, suffering from a bad case of diarrhoea. In a flashback we learn how she got in this predicament - eating a demon that was laced with laxatives!!!! Quite funny, and some light relief from the usual fare.

Birthright
Marie Croall and Stefano Caselli

Ophidia, the snake lady from World's End Circus, is kidnapped by cultist who want to sacrifice her to the snake god, Sargoth. A sinister ritual is taking place. Men who worship the dark prepare to summon a monster. Ophidia watches ... chained ... waiting patiently ...

But they have made one small miscalculation ...

The Case of the Connected Clowns and the Collector
José Gonzalez

Vampirella and Pantha prepare to take Hollywood by storm! Plus a special appearance by Pendragon! It's a classic tale by the greatest Vampirella artist ever, José Gonzalez! Reprinted from Warren Vampirella 71. Not the best Warren story, but entertaining.

Lust
Jay Faerber and Dub

Something's in the air, something terrible, something overriding reason and possessing even the strongest willed.

Vampirella and Pantha meet up with odd consequences. Pantha is an unknowing carrier for a "lust" virus which makes her fall in love with Vampirella (very understandable), and has strange effects on the World's End Circus personnel.

A really nice, one off, issue for Halloween 2004. There are three covers which are all great, but the Golden cover really appeals for it's simplicity and effect.

This is quite a thick book and smells wonderful when opened for the first time. The stories are all entertaining in their own ways, and the whole package is great value for money.
