• Night of the Jackass [Artist, Jose Ortiz; Writer, Bruce Bezaire]
  London, 1906. The city is in a grip of fear as a new and deadly drug, Hyde-25, sweeps the capital. Hyde-25 (a.k.a. Jackass) turns the user into a powerful homicidal monster for 24 hours, and then they die. Two men survive an attack by the Jackassers and work with the creator of the drug to develop an antidote. One of them, Bishop, takes Hyde-25 and tries to kill the others in his drugged frenzy. They administer the antidote - which works.

• Return of the Jackass [Artists, Jim Webb, Steve Mitchell; Writer, Tom Sniegoski]
  Modern day. Hyde-25 is on the streets again, and people are dying. In an asylum, locked away in a straightjacket, is a Hyde-25 user who is still alive and fairly rational. He feels the violence growing and knows that he will be called upon to help stem the tide of Hyde-25 related chaos.

• Vampirella of Draculon [Artist, Tom Sutton; Writer, Forest J. Ackerman] (from Warren Vampirella #1)

This is primarily a preview or prequel for Harris' latest comic title, Hyde-25. However it does contain the first ever Vampirella story reprinted from Warren Vampirella #1 which has been coloured quite skillfully by Digital Hellfire.

Also, the drug Hyde-25 has a role to play in the Vengeance of Vampirella series, and is responsible for turning Adam van Helsing into "Bad Jack".
