    Vampirella Special Hardcover Edition Question

    It was published in Spain(?) for Warren in English by Joseph Toutain via his publishing company Toutain-Editor.  This English edition was limited to 500 signed & numbered copies.  Many were damaged due to poor printing/manufacturing quality.  At the same time it was published in Spanish for European consumers.  Don't know what the print run was for that.

    Thank you. I am currently looking at a Toutain Spanish edition but would prefer an English copy if possible.

    I don't have it, but there is an English language hardcover.  Supposedly limited to 500 copies, I believe, and supposedly about half were so badly made they weren't sold.  Not positive it they sold 500 of an original 1000, or 250 of an original 500.

    Thanks! Do you happen to know if the print runs were the same for the English and Spanish editions?

    Do you think Hex would stick the cigarette through his "flesh hole" to smoke?  :nyah:

    Come to think of it, how would he even take a puff with a hole in his cheek? (shrug)

    It just looks bada$$! :headbang:

    I've got to assume that marketing was at least part of the motive.

    I'm not saying it won't wind up the winner on personal all time worst cover list.  I'm saying that, until we hit EERIE #75, we need to keep the topic open.

    Well at least I can vouch for Eerie #75 capturing my attention on the rack when I walked into our local 5&10 corner store. Man, did that pop amidst all the other books!

    The last time my birthday fell on Easter was my 50th birthday, and it was the day that I convinced the Beatrice, NE police department to break into the hotel room of an incoherently drunk, nearly naked woman whom I was meeting for the first time, and to release her into my custody for transport across state lines...

    This actually sounds a lot more interesting than the Creepy Annual... 

    The AxeElf 50th Anniversary Annual? hm

    I’d give that a read! :headbang:

    Cover:  Honestly, possibly my least favorite Warren cover, although I'm sure some others will underwhelm me going forward

    No, it’s pretty bad. Lazy would be more accurate. Although I do wonder if it was some sort of a marketing scheme. I know I have seen this mask for sale (Capt. Company?) in the Warren mags. Is it for sale in this very issue? I believe it was a pricy mask even back then, $25-$30 range. I wonder if they were trying to give it more exposure for selling purposes. Not the best of issues considering the cover and reprinted content but a bear to collectors who want one in high grade!
