Kirk Lindo is the author and artist responsible for the creation and publication of The VAMPEROTICA comic series and Vampress Luxura, one of the longest running vampire characters in comics history.
In 1994, Kirk Lindo launched his highly successful vampire anthology comic, Vamperotica. The comic featured the first appearance of Luxura, The Ultimate Vampire Queen.
Luxura's unique hair, voluptuous curves and insatiable thirst for the blood of men and women instantly captivated readers and built a world wide fan base. The series also featured an amazing collection of genre expanding vampire stories.
Lindo's visionary approach to comic publishing during the 90's built the Luxura/Vamperoitca brand by expanding the properties into other mediums including magazines, movies, statues, trading cards and music.
The original Vamperotica comic series ran for 50 issues and Vamperotica #1 has an unprecedented 3 printings. An impressive accomplishment from an independent publisher competing in the same market as the big companies.
2014 marked the 20th anniversary of Kirk's first publication of the Vampress Luxura. A recent Kickstarter campaign to collect all of Luxura's appearances was wildly successful and was funded to 2517% of it's original goal!
