Elvira's arch-enemy, Vlad the Impaler - the original Count Dracula - is raiding the Multiverse of Movies to kidnap Famous Monsters, and now it's Frankenstein's turn! Can Elvira stop him before he makes off with Karloff? And what's Vlad got planned with this Monster Army he's building? Tune in for an adventure beyond Mary Shelley's wildest dreams, courtesy of writer David Avallone (Elvira in Horrorland, Bettie Page: Unbound) and artist Kewber (Vampirella, KISS, Red Rising) Baal! Featuring another bevy of beautiful covers by Dave Acosta, John Royle, Kewber Baal and a photo cover of the Mistress of the Macabre herself - Elvira!
