Yes, these are all repeats from previously published comics, but they are well chosen and represent a range of artistic and storytelling styles.

Of course, there is the obligatory José Gonzalez classic tale, but not one that has been repeated much in the past. The Bruce Timm and Ray Lago artwork are just superb, and not that common in the publishing annals of Vampirella.

For a new reader it is a great taster and shows some of the best of Vampirella.

For the established reader it is a reminder of some of the classic moments in Vampirella's history.
