Dynamite's Diamond Eye Edition of Vampirella, made for the heroine's fiftieth anniversary after the classic art of Jose Gonzalez, sculpted by Steve Kiwus and numbered in an edition of only 299.
The Piece
Vampirella first appeared in 1969, and it was the Spanish artist Jose Gonzalez who fixed her image for generations of readers: the raven hair, the scarlet sling costume with its gold collar, the slim black boots. Dynamite marked her half century with this Diamond Eye Edition, a statue built directly on his drawing.
Steve Kiwus sculpted the figure in a poised contrapposto, one arm thrown out with a bat alighting on her hand, standing on the red and yellow bat-wing emblem that serves as her plinth. The paint follows the comic panels closely, from the deep crimson of the costume to the pale gold armband.
The statue comes with its printed window box, foam cradle, outer carton and both cards: the Jose Gonzalez art card and the Diamond Eye Edition certificate, numbered out of 299.
