Evie's Poem

Illustrated by Alberto Locatelli, this is my favorite piece of writing. Alberto captured the scene perfectly. The poem Evie is reciting is one I wrote many years ago, tweaked a tad for the third issue of the Vampirella: Dead Flowers comic I am co-writing with Sara Frazetta.

The two legible tombstones honor Sara's grandmother, Ellie (Kelly) Frazetta, wife of Frank, and my brother, Bret, who passed a few weeks before the first Vampirella issue was released.

Bret was a great artist and always signed his work BAF. I think he would appreciate this homage.

Vampirella: Dead Flowers is available wherever comics are sold. Issues 1-3 are in stores now. The final issue drops in a few short weeks.
