''For other uses of the word [[Succubus]], see [[Succubus (disambiguation)]].''

== Introduction to Lorelei ==

She stalks the streets of New York: A redheaded angel of vengeance who preys on those who would prey on the weak. As deadly as she is beautiful, she takes from evildoers the one thing for which they no longer have a use: Their souls.

Lorelei is the story of Laurel Ashley O’Hara - a photographer known for her controversial choices of subject matter - who, through a series of unfortunate events, dies and is resurrected as the soul-stealing succubus named Lorelei. Forced to abandon her former life, she finds herself drawn into the shadows of a world she only thought she knew - for how could she have ever believed before now that New York City has always been a nexus for supernatural activity? Or that her actions as a newly-christened femme fatale may soon determine whether, not just the city, but the entire planet, will be consumed by the forces of darkness that have forever changed her life . . . ?

== Origins ==

Lorelei made her debut in 1989, in The Lorelei One-Shot Special - a digest-sized, small press comic written and drawn by creator Steven A. Roman. Influenced by such characters as Vampirella, Marvel Comics’ Cloak and Dagger and Satanna, The Devil's Daughter, and the TV show The Equalizer, the redheaded succubus stepped from the shadows of a New York alley to halt the mugging of a couple by a street gang. She ended the confrontation by taking the soul of the gang's leader, reducing him to a withered husk.

Another issue followed in 1991, this time with two stories: an introduction of sorts to the series, narrated by Lori herself, and the first part of what would later become the "Architects of Fear" storyline in Lorelei Vol. 2 #1. Response to the character in the small press community was so positive that Roman began making plans for moving Lorelei to the next rung on the independent publishers' ladder: an on-going comic book series.

In 1993, Starwarp Concepts released the full-sized Lorelei #0, with Roman now joined by David C. Matthews, a small press artist known for his female bodybuilder character Satin Steele. Behind a cover by fan-favorite Vampirella artist Louis Small, Jr. (who also then provided the cover for #1), the issue served as a prologue to Lorelei's novel-length origin story, "Building the Perfect Beast." (An unusual approach, given neither Lorelei nor her alter ego, Laurel O’Hara, made an appearance in the series premiere.) The story was scheduled to run a total of fourteen issues, but only six - #0 through #5 - were published before the series was placed on hiatus.

That didn’t mean Lorelei was forgotten. In 1995, she made a surprise cameo appearance in the Crusade Entertainment/Image Comics’ crossover special, Shi/Cyblade: The Battle for Independents, written and drawn by Shi creator Billy Tucci and Witchblade creator Marc Silvestri. She can be seen joining the charge against the dreaded "mainstream" publishers.

In June 1996, Lorelei made a temporary reappearance in the Lorelei Returns! Special, published by Power Comics. In addition to a recap of the earlier issues (penciled by Uriel Caton, later an artist on DC Comics' JSA Annual 2000), the special featured the previously unpublished Chapter 6 of the storyline. However, unexpected financial problems forced Power Comics to place Lorelei back in limbo, where it had remained . . . until now.

At the 2001 Comic-Con International: San Diego, Starwarp Concepts proudly announced that, after years in exile, Lorelei would be returning to comic book racks; Volume 2 #1 hit stands in July 2002. The revamped Mature Readers series features all-new, never-before-published work by some of the top names in the comics industry, as well as reprints of the first seven parts of Lorelei's origin before continuing the story with new chapters.
