Retailer Previews are glossy publications produced to send to comic shop (and other) retailers to persuade them that Vampirella is worth ordering (as if we didn't know). They are real collector's items these days, each one superbly produced and well worth reading (or more likely looking at the pictures). |

March 1994 Fascinating detail on this retailer preview, including the comic magazines that Hyde 25 #0 would be advertised in (such as Wizard and Diamond Previews). One sad comment is the fact Harris was to have followed this comic up with a 3-issue mini-series that never happened. |

November 1994 Chains of Chaos was the 3-issue mini-series featuring The Rook and Vampirella that ran from November 1994 to February 1995. This Retailer Promo is traditional fare, nice thick quality paper, lots of colour - nice promo.. |
 |
 |
December 1994 A very nice 4-page promo on Vampirella Zero. Lots of colour for this promo on the issue that bridged Morning in America with the Vampirella Color Series and The Dracula Wars. Nice ..... again. |

 |
September 1995 More delectable details of Harris promotions in this preview for the Vampirella Strikes series. Much is made of the fact this is the first Harris cover to feature the Vampirella model Sascha Knopf (although she isn't named). The inside pages feature the strip for Vampirella Strikes #1 |

November 1995 This is a great retailer preview, with quality art from the forthcoming Mystery Walk series within Vengeance of Vampirella. The now much sought-after alternative Buzz covers are promoted, one for every 20 copies of the regular cover. |

 |
December 1995 Some great art in this retailer preview, with lots of different Vampi issues coming out around this time. No real promotional offers in this one, but lots of information about the many individual comics being published. |

March 1996 Vengeance of Vampirella #25 was an extraordinary issue, with the blend of story and art creating a classic in the true sense of the word. This promo enjoys itself by looking superb. For every 50 copies ordered the retailer gets a rare alternative cover by Jae Lee. |

 |
September 1996 A bumper 12 page issue, promoting the 25th Anniversary Special and almost as good as the special itself. A personal introduction from Dave Bogart to kick things off, sample pages from the issue and an ad for the Frazetta-inspired statue (see right) make this issue a real collector's item today. |
