Vampirella – Collected Volume #2 – Benli Yayınevi Turkish Edition (1978)

Description:

This collected volume is part of the Vampirella series published by Benli Yayınevi, originally released between 1976 and 1978 as a 31-issue run. In 1978, the publisher reissued remaining unsold copies in the form of collected volumes, grouping multiple issues together under newly designed covers. A total of 5 collected volumes were produced, each containing four issues from the original series, offering a more substantial format for readers and collectors.

Volume #2 includes Issues #5, #6, #7, and #8, bringing together a selection of early entries from the weekly 34-page phase of the series. Printed entirely in black and white and in the same smaller comic format (approximately 24 cm in height), this edition preserves the original content while presenting it in a consolidated and more durable format. These collected editions are particularly interesting from a collector’s perspective, as they represent a secondary release with unique covers not found in the original single issues.

The volume contains multiple Vampirella stories drawn from the early 1970s Warren publications, maintaining the character’s signature blend of gothic horror and science fiction. In addition to Vampirella content, the volume also features appearances by Marvel’s Morbius the Living Vampire, alongside a variety of horror stories sourced from publications such as Creepy and Eerie. This combination reinforces the anthology nature of the series, offering a diverse and engaging reading experience.

The cover is adapted from Vampirella #49, providing a visually striking and recognizable image that differs from the original covers of the included issues. As a collected edition, this volume holds a unique place within the Benli Yayınevi Vampirella series, appealing to collectors interested in variant formats, reprints, and consolidated editions of the original run.
