Written by Christopher Priest and illustrated by Iván F. Silva, this issue, released October 16, 2024, continues the “Dark World” arc. Vampirella and her evil twin, Draculina, navigate the astral “Dark World,” a realm shaped by Draculina’s fears. Draculina, dying from a plague, faces a twisted Dark World Vampirella born from her hateful psyche, while monsters from her childhood imagination pursue her. The story explores their fraught sisterly bond, with Dracula as an unlikely ally and Doc Chary providing psychological context. The Elias Chatzoudis 1:20 Virgin Variant cover, logo-free and showcasing Vampirella’s iconic allure, amplifies its collectible appeal.
The Chatzoudis 1:20 Virgin Variant, a retailer incentive with a limited print run, commands $20–$50 in NM (Near Mint) condition on eBay, driven by Chatzoudis’s fanbase and the variant’s exclusivity. CGC 9.8 graded copies fetch $80–$150, reflecting high demand for high-ratio variants. By comparison, the standard Lucio Parrillo cover sells for $5–$15 NM, and the Parrillo UV Virgin Variant (1:10) ranges from $20–$40 NM. The Chatzoudis variant’s value aligns with his Vampirella #669 1:20 Virgin Variant ($20–$50 NM), offering a balance of rarity and affordability.
Vampirella’s cult status and Dynamite’s dedicated fanbase drive this issue’s investment potential. Chatzoudis’s variants often appreciate 50–100% within 1–3 years, as seen with his Sacred Six #8 cover ($20–$60 NM). By 2027, NM copies could reach $50–$100, and CGC 9.8 copies may hit $150–$300, especially with Vampirella’s 60th-anniversary celebrations and potential media adaptations boosting interest. Grading delays (ongoing into mid-2025) and limited supply may further elevate prices. The “Dark World” arc’s narrative depth and Chatzoudis’s collectible allure ensure long-term demand.
The Vampirella Vol. 8 #673 Elias Chatzoudis 1:20 Virgin Variant combines rarity, artistic prestige, and narrative intensity. Chatzoudis’s logo-free, seductive cover and the issue’s exploration of Vampirella and Draculina’s dark bond make it a collector’s prize.
