Fred Hembeck Vampirella

My posts about Fred Hembeck sketches seem to be pretty popular, so here's another one. He sells his artwork on eBay, and the sketches cover a huge range of pop culture characters. I was able to get this Vampirella sketch card from his eBay store for a little over the starting bid.


It's done in his signature swirly-kneed Hembeck style, and he's got all of the elements that make up Vampirella's iconic look. I think my favorite parts of this sketch are the prominent fangs and Vampirella's huge collar.

  1. Fred is pretty cool. The first person I ever asked for an autograph in person.

    1. That's pretty cool! I've never met him in person, but he seems like a guy I would like to meet.

    2. He is pretty cool...and he has a whole binder of sketches for sale at shows. I got all three main members of the Marvel Family. His Facebook birthday messages are legendary, too.

    3. I haven't seen those. I feel weird about sending friend requests to artists who don't have dedicated art pages.

  2. Yes, I really enjoy his work. Swirly knees and all!

  3. I love the fact this looks like a character who might be dating Archie or Jughead.

    1. She does look a bit like Veronica Lodge cosplaying as Vampirella!
