Elvira: Mistress of the Dark – Spring Special (2019, Dynamite) The Spring Special is exactly what you’d expect from Elvira: a gloriously camp romp where every panel winks at you so hard you start to worry she’s pulling a muscle. Dynamite leans fully into her trademark blend of horror‑host sass, meta humor, and “did she really just say that?” double entendres. The jokes land with that familiar Elvira thump—sometimes subtle, sometimes about as subtle as a plunging neckline—but always fun.
The story itself is light, breezy, and knowingly ridiculous, like a spring break getaway that somehow involves monsters, magic, and more innuendo than a bayou gossip session. Elvira keeps tossing out quips that feel like she’s daring you to blush, and honestly, I liked it. It’s playful, self‑aware, and never pretends to be anything other than a good time with a wicked grin.
If you enjoy comics that don’t take themselves seriously, embrace their own camp, and let Elvira crack jokes that are just clean enough to print, this Spring Special scratches the itch—sometimes twice, depending on where you like your scratches.
