Elvira Mistress of the Dark: The Classic Years Omnibus Vol. 1

3.4/5 ( ratings)

Turn back the clock to 1993...Bill Clinton was President, the Blue Jays won the World Series, and Jurassic Park ruled the box office. A young horror host named Elvira ruled late-night television and became the Queen of Halloween. An independent comic book company began working with the Mistress of the Dark delivering some brilliantly funny and frisky comic stories. Creators from every corner of the industry contributed to her growing lore with stories and art celebrating the "sassy lassie with the classy chassis" including comic legends like Kurt Busiek, Paul Dini, Neil Vokes, Fred Hembeck, Dave Cockrum, and a host of others!

The Elvira Mistress of the Dark Classic Years Omnibus is the first volume kicking off reprinting the highly sought-after tales originally published by Claypool Comics. In these beloved adventures, Elvira must contend with teen werewolves, killer clowns, aliens, a high school reunion, pro wrestling, and more! Plus, special Halloween, Christmas, and Easter stories. The book is available in paperback or hardcover and covers 26 issues, rounding out to a massive 600-page tome. And for a special surprise Dynamite is sneaking in extra bonuses amounting to .666 of an issue. That's right gals and ghouls, 26.666 comics in one massive book! Spooky!

Also features an introduction by original publisher/editor Richard Howell as well as an afterword by Elvira writer and comics legend Kurt Busiek.
