Very cool books, Douglas! Are the French Vampi’s the same year as the U.S. editions? 

Great question, Gene.  Warren issued Vampirella 1 in the US with a September 1969 cover date.  The French #1 I have listed came out a year later.  If you're interested, here's a great site with lots of information on foreign editions:

Vampirella 9 (French), 7.0, $50, I love this book.  It's particularly cool because the original cover was used for Eerie 35 in the US.  But it seems so much more fitting for Vampirella!  Nice solid copy that would grade higher if not for a small crease on the spine.  Sold to N e r V

Does the Vampi 1 you're selling have the colored interiors?

that's a dang cover

Vampirella 11 (French), 7.0, $40, Very cool copy of another classic Vampirella cover (originally used in the US on Vampirella 24).  Another super solid copy that feels very fresh in hand.  Would grade higher if not for a NCB on the corner of the back cover (visible in scan).

Great question, Joshua.  No, it's black and white.  I've always been puzzled by that distinction from his website.  His reference to a "color version" is the only reference I've ever seen.  Granted, I've only seen 4 or 5 of these but none of them had color interiors.  If it's out there, I just haven't seen it.  My guess is that if the color version does exist, it's quite rare.

That's it for the French Vampirellas.  I'll list a few more Warrens tonight (I got a late start) and continue tomorrow night.

Creepy 3, 9.4, $110  Sold!, An excellent Frazetta cover with great gloss and color.  These early issues of Creepy are getting pretty tough in high grade.  Interiors by Angelo Torres, Reed Crandall, Joe Orlando, and Gray Morrow.  These early issues of the Archie Goodwin era are chock full of stories and quality art!  For those that haven't purchased from me, the back cover is actually very clean in hand.  My scanner is a cruel, cruel mistress...  Sold to jr70!

Such a great cover.

Creepy 6, 8.5, Fantucchio Pedigree (purchased directly from mycomicshop), $75, A very pretty copy of this classic, dark, Frazetta cover.  Even better is where the book came from given Fantucchio drew a few stories for Warren mags.  Sold to Morganmi!

Creepy 14, 8.0-8.5, $75,  A very cool early Creepy with an excellent cover by Gray Morrow.  Snake bitten again by my scanner.  This copy is nice and tight with great colors and gloss.  The interiors of this book are as good as it gets for early Warrens- Ditko, Adams, Grandenetti, Crandall, Severin.  The Neal Adams/Archie Goodwin story is particularly good!  Sold to dover

Creepy 16, 6.5, $50, Oh boy, this is one of the big boy Frazetta covers.  I personally think it's superior to Eerie 23 and second only to Vampirella 7.  This is a nice presenting copy of a book that has the classic "Catwoman" cover by Frazetta before he altered it.  The original art no longer looks this cool!  Sold to Joshua33!

Creepy 17, 7.5, $25, Another Frazetta cover.  I've always considered this to be the prototype for the Death Dealer with it's classic pose.  It's wrong how little this magazine goes for but this is what the market seems to value it at.  I don't think it'll stay that way for long.  Nice clean copy.  Sold to Joshua33!
