Since Harris Publications had bought not only the character of
Vampirella, but also owned all of the previous Vampirella comics
published by Warren!
Rather than let them gather dust in the vaults of comicdom, the
Crimson Chronicles presents the best of the early Warren comic books.
Issue 1 of the Chronicles covers the stories from the first
ten issues of the Warren Vampirella series!

buying comic books and horror magazines in the 1970s, then this
is quite a good introduction to Vampirella of yore!

The third volume (so far) of the series features stories from Warren
Vampirella, issues 19-28.
I don't think this series sold well, which may explain why the price dropped from $19.95
to $14.95.
On the positive side, if you can't afford to buy copies of the
original Warren comics then this could be a good way to catch up
on key stories.

As a long time Vampirella collector there is nothing new here for me, but for someone who hasn't read these stories before this book is
great value - 160 pages of entertainment for $14.95!
