As Vampirella searches for a way to return to Drakulon in order to save her mother, she reflects on her first days on Earth as a newly arrived extraterrestrial lost in a bustling New York City, where she becomes the target of predators both human and supernatural, and finds her first friend– a mysterious young woman who can transform herself into a Panther.
