review:
'Vampirella Feary Tales' is helmed by Nancy A. Collins, but she pulls in all kinds of talent for the 45th Anniversary tribute. It's a fun story that has Vampi travelling through some twisted versions of fairy tales.

When Vampirella inherits a castle in Transylvania, she discovers a book of old tales called 'Feary Tales,' but before she can close the cover, she becomes part of the many stories in the book. There are twisted versions of many familiar stories like Snow White, Cinderella, Red Riding Hood and others. The stories flip by fast, sometimes without a resolution. Vampirella seems to be chasing a mysterious blonde woman. Along the way, she battles with an obnoxious, pun-filled "Storyteller" who narrates the book.

There are a lot of contributors and a lot of ground gets covered, and I think the book suffers at time because of the breakneck speed of the plot. The punny "Storyteller" definitely brings the campiness to the story. While it's not my favorite Vampirella story ever, it's a much better twisted take on fairy tales than I've seen in other series. Along with the 5 issues of the series, this graphic novel includes the script for the first issue along with a gallery of covers and alternate covers.

I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Diamond Book Distributors, Dynamite, and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.
