The Origin of Vampirella
Artist - José Gonzalez / Writer - J. R. Cochman
An extended version of Vampirella's origin, with more information about Drakulon and her relationship with Tristan. A slight variant on the Warren origins, both Vampirella nd Tristan approach the spaceship from Earth, and Tristan is killed by the "laser blasts" of the Earthmen.
A completely new (though familiar) origin story for Vampirella. This issue is a real collector's piece if only for a Jose Gonzalez story that was never published in the USA.
Backing up the Vampirella story is a collection of Warren horror reprints; Wolf Hunt (Esteban Maroto/Joe Wehrle, from Vampirella #14), Cry of the Dhampir (Auraleon/John Jacobson from Vampirella #22), and As Though They were Living (Richard Corben/ Gerry Boudreau - from Vampirella #30).
There is also a text only story The Call of the Dead (uncredited).
The text stories were translations of stories from the German editions of Vampirella.
