*"I thought that Vampirella was probably the strongest female character in the last 20 or 30 years of comics," observes veteran illustrator Frank Brunner, who's drawn more than his share of striking fantasy heroines. "For this piece, Vampirella has awakened within her dream. But she's still asleep, in bed with her lover, and all her fears, all her anxieties about herself and the evil that sort of surrounds her are coming around...menacing not just her, but particularly her lover. It's a battle that's going on within her brain-the choice between Good and Evil-that sums up the essence of the character." *Source: Back of card
