Wasn't sure where to post this. RIP Julie Strain. 

 

Enter Julie Strain. Julie came to the part with a huge history of red-hot films, wearing the well-earned crown as the“Queen of the B-Movies.”

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.
