The Elvira Mistress of the Dark Classic Years Omnibus is the first volume reprinting the highly sought-after tales originally published by Claypool Comics. With this deluxe volume, fans can turn back the clock to 1993. Bill Clinton was president, Jurassic Park ruled the box office, and just like today, Elvira was her legendary horror host self. 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 covers 26 issues, rounding out to a massive 600-page tome and 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! A bountiful bevy of talented creators contributed to these adventures. Known for his love of the macabre and the flirty, Paul Dini of Batman fame lent his hand. While this first volume also compiles all of the plentiful pages written by Kurt Busiek (Avengers, Astro City). Claypool head honcho Richard Howell (Vision & the Scarlet Witch) and Frank Strom also contributed writing. While on the art side, Tom Simonton is beloved by Elvira fans for his early contributions to the series, as well as John Heebink. X-Men fans will thrill to the lines of Dave Cockrum on stories, and Dynamite's Vampirella fans will love to see Louis LaChance. Other stars inside include Dan Spiegle, Fred Hembeck, and Neil Vokes.

エルヴァイラという稀代のアイコンが放つキャンプで官能的な魅力が、名匠ポール・ディニらの手により、単なるホラーを超えた知的なパロディとして昇華されています。全編を貫くのは、恐怖を愛しつつも軽やかに笑い飛ばす不滅の精神性です。超常現象と俗世の滑稽さを交差させる大胆な筆致は、読者の感性を激しく揺さぶります。 実写のホラーホストとして名高い彼女ですが、本書では紙面という無限の舞台を得て、映像の制約を超えたダイナミックな冒険が展開されます。コミックならではの饒舌なウィットと自由なイマジネーションは、映像版の艶やかさを補完し、両メディアを往来することでしか到達できない「究極の祝祭」を見事に提示しているのです。
