 Julie Strain brought her already-sizeable fan base
to the ranks of the Vampirella fandom, making Vampirella’s
devoted legions even bigger and better than ever. Ms. Strain
went on to appear on over a dozen different Vampirella covers.
She became so popular that Harris Comics launched an exclusive
commemorative comic devoted solely to Julie Strain, aptly
titled the Vampirella Presents Julie Strain special.
Julie’s contribution to the Vampirella legacy was not
confined to just modeling—she \was also the first model
to work both sides of the camera! From her professional
photography studio in the Hollywood hills, Julie brought
forth three of her gorgeous protégés to don
the Vampirella costume, with Julie herself taking the pictures.
With a publishing empire, a popular website, a library of
blockbuster films, and a burgeoning stable of emergent new
talent, Julie Strain is truly a hard act to follow—in
Julie’s own words, “ she rocks.”
So what does a new Vampirella model have to live up to?
The thirty-year legacy left by some of the finest actresses
and models, plus the expectations of fans who have followed
the character since their earliest days. Being the new Vampirella
model for the 21st century will be no easy task, but if
she’s anything like those who have gone before, she’ll
do just fine.
