Creepy 51, 9.2, $95, An excellent cover by Sanjulian, this is another tough to find book in high grade.  I've owned many copies of this book and this is the 2nd best that I've seen and is also from that collection of glossy, white paged books.  Nice and fresh with only a couple of minor flaws.  This book is chock full of Esteban Maroto art with a couple stories by others and it of course, has the color preview of the Dracula GN.  Sold to N e r V

Creepy 52, April 1973, VF+ 8.5, $40, One of the cooler covers of the later part of the run, I really like the composition of this cover.  My scanner is brutal on it and it is much whiter and cleaner in hand.  Just a wonderful cover by Sanjulian with interiors by Crandall, Maroto, and host of other Spanish greats.  This books should be a key cover in the future.  Sold to dover!

Eerie 6, 9.0, $90, An excellent copy of an early Eerie.  This book has a great cover by Gray Morrow and is very glossy and fresh.  Mile High Comics just sold a NM for $156 and all of these early Warrens seem to be getting snapped up in high grade.  Interiors are stellar and include work by John Severin, Reed Crandall, Steve Ditko (one of my favorites), Gene Colan, and more.  Sold to dover

Eerie 38, 8.0, $45, Classic cover by Ken Kelly.  So much so that when they decided to do posters of their books, this is one of the few they used.  A nice solid copy with great gloss and colors.  Tough book in high grade.  Hard to believe this book is 49 years old!  Sold to dover!

Eerie 41A, August 1972, VF 7.5-8.0, $35, One of the best covers by Sanjulian.  This book gets nowhere near the love it should.  A nice solid copy with good colors.  Interiors by Paul Neary, Grandenetti, Tom Sutton, Maroto, and more.  Sold to 10centcomics!

Vampirella 12 (copy A), July 1971, F 6.0, $40, This is the issue when the Spanish artists began.  A classic cover by Sanjulian, this copy is solidly attached with good gloss and color.  Interiors by Wally Wood, Ernie Colon, Frank Brunner, Jose Gonzalez, Jeff Jones and more.  Doesn't get much better.  Sold to 10centcomics!

Vampirella 13, September 1971, VF 8.0-8.5, $60, Classic cover by Sanjulian (another of the classic Egyptian covers).  You have to love the back cover by Frazetta!  Who knew you could buy a rockin' surfboard with cigarette money?  This copy is very clean and pretty with a few minor issues.  I recommend grabbing these early Vampirellas while they're cheap because they won't stay that way.  Sold to oceans11

Vampirella 15A, January 1972, Former CGC 8.0 C/OW (cracked out), $50, Yet another awesome cover by Sanjulian.  I've listed this before and thought I'd list it again.  It's a very cool book with clear rubbing near the spine.  Otherwise, very tight and solidly attached at the staples.  Sold

That's it for tonight.  Just want to make a note to those that haven't purchased from me- I don't press books at all and none of my books have been worked on at all to the best of my knowledge.  I can't speak to books that have been cracked out of slabs but the other raw copies haven't been pressed. 

Feel free to pm with questions or offers (no low ball offers, please).  I'm usually open to better discounts if you're buying more than one book and I typically include some pretty nice freebies as well.  Thanks to all for looking and to those that purchased!

Vampirella 15 and 17 are sold per pm.

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.

It does exist, and is quite rare. My understanding is it was CMYK color interiors and was such poor quality that they halted production and replaced the print run with this version
