STORYLINE – Ascending Evil Part 1

Vampirella #1 (Volume 3), published in November 1997 by Harris Comics (often referred to under the series title Vampirella Monthly), marks the beginning of the prominent “Ascending Evil” storyline.

This issue serves as a high-profile relaunch and modernization of the iconic character. In this chapter, Vampirella faces a sinister occult conspiracy while the narrative shifts away from her classic 1960s space-alien origins. Instead, it leans heavily into gritty, supernatural “bad girl” horror, tying her directly to ancient biblical lore and vampire mythology. She encounters a ruthless, ancient enemy named Von Kreist, establishing a brutal new status quo.
