Vamps: Pumpkin Time #3

Vamps: Pumpkin Time was a three-issue limited series published by DC Comics under their Vertigo imprint in 1998. It served as a direct sequel to the original 1994 Vamps miniseries, which explored the gritty, nocturnal lives of a nomadic gang of vampire biker women. The story was written by Elaine Lee, who maintained the dark, rebellious tone of the original characters as they navigated a world of supernatural threats and interpersonal conflict.

The interior artwork for the series was provided by William Simpson, whose gritty, atmospheric style perfectly complemented the punk-rock aesthetic of the protagonists. His illustrations focused on character-driven storytelling, emphasizing the leather-clad, edgy vibe that defined the Vertigo line's more alternative offerings in the late nineties. While the series did not reach the mainstream popularity of flagship titles, it remains a notable example of the stylistic experimentation common to the imprint during that era.
