REMINDER: Image’s Frankenstein Mobster, Harris’s Vampirella, Team for Online Strip

.html

Image Comics has announced that, in an effort to build interest in both character's series, Harris Comics' queen of the night, Vampirella, will meet up with Image's Frankenstein Mobster in a free, daily, online comic strip that is available beginning today, August 4.

The daily strip will run each weekday throughout August, which should result in increased reader anticipation for Image's Frankenstein Mobster #0 (AUG0312-6-7D) and Harris's Vampirella Comics Magazine #1 (AUG032321-2H), which are both solicited in the August Previews. In addition, a Frankenstein Mobster story will be included in the debut issue of Vampirella Comics Magazine.

Entitled "The Ballad of Frankie and Vampi," the online strip is written and illustrated by Frankenstein Mobster creator and Hammer of the Gods co-creator Mark Wheatley, the award-winning writer/artist behind Breathtaker, Mars, and Radical Dreamer.

Furthermore, the strip will be available through a number of different comics and pop culture-related sites, including www.ImageComics.com, Insight Studios Group's www.SunnyFundays.com, Harris's www.Vampirella.com, Gemstone Publishing's www.gemstonepub.com, Westfield Comics' www.westfieldcomics.com, and Creature Feature's www.countgore.com, among others.

Like the title character, Frankenstein Mobster is a potent amalgamation of different elements, including horror, action, and even humor, which combine for a great story. The title character used to be Terry Todd, a crusading cop for whom the law was at least a compulsion, if not more. Life as a good cop in a bad town wasn't easy, but death is apparently even harder, as Todd now finds himself sharing his own skull with three unscrupulous mobsters! Having debuted in a teaser featured in Hammer of the Gods: Hammer Hits China #2, the Mobster is now taking his first spotlight dance with everyone's favorite sexy vampire.

"I've been in love with Vampirella since I was a kid living in my treehouse," said Wheatley. "I had one of those six-foot-tall posters of Vampirella on the wall of my treehouse living room! In fact, it was the old Warren horror magazines that started me down the path that lead to creating the Frankenstein Mobster."

Frankenstein Mobster #0 and Vampirella Comics Magazine #1 are both available for initial orders -- confirm yours today!
