Dynamite Entertainment has announced that David Avallone, who already has three years worth of Elvira comics to his credit, is writing a new series for them called Elvira Meets Vincent Price, in which the legendary horror hostess will be teaming up with the ghost of one of the genre's greatest stars.
The ghost of Vincent Price has a very important mission, and he needs Elvira's help if he's to accomplish it. The apocalypse is on its way, and it's going to be live-streamed for viewers to watch. A long-lost movie can save the world, but only if Elvira and Vincent Price can find it in time. Thrills, chills, and terrible puns are promised to be abundant within.
Avallone says,
Writing Vincent Price is a gift. On-screen and off, he's an indelible character and it's delightful to write in his 'voice,' just as it is to write in Elvira's. He's charming and elegant and hilarious… and as in real life, a perfect foil for Elvira. I recommend fans Googling their talk show appearances together."
The Elvira Meets Vincent Price creative team also includes artist Juan Samu, colorist Walter Pereyra, and letterer Taylor Esposito.
The first issue of the series will reach store shelves in August. Dave Acosta, Juan Samu, and John Royle have each come up with a different cover for the issue, and the real-life Elvira, Cassandra Peterson, also posed for an announcement photo. These can all be seen below.
