Eerie 59, 8.5. Full gloss on a very tough black cover but there's some very light crease on the top of the book and the bottom staple has worn the cover (common to some of these Warrens). $35

[Randall Dowling]

Eerie 63, 9.6+. Full Gloss, looks like a brand new magazine. Tough black covers make these books very challenging in very high grade and it doesn't get much higher than this copy. $140 Sold per PM

Vampirella 100, 8.5. A really pretty book that has some sort of non-color breaking vertical impressions on the front cover (could be production, not visible in scan and not easily visible in hand) and has a tiny mark near the spine where it looks like somebody tapped a pen (not color touch, just a stray pen mark that's very small). $95  Withdrawn

Vampirella 3 (French), 7.0. Nice looking copy with some sort of schmutz on the cover (visible in scan at bottom of logo). Otherwise solid and tight with white pages. These French copies are pretty tough in grade. And this cover is the classic Frazetta cover used from Vampirella 5 in the US. $70

Vampirella 5 (French), 7.5. Solid copy with some minor soiling to the back cover. Same cover art from Vampirella 16 by Sanjulian. $65  Sold to JRBaxter

For those that aren't familiar with these French books, this series started in 1970 and is arguably the earliest export of Vampirella outside of the US.  Eventually, many countries would follow but it pretty much began with the French.  These issues have hard cardstock covers with a textured surface and high quality paper.

[Randall Dowling]

Vampirella 6 (French), 4.0. Would grade Fine (due to general wear) but for the small piece out of the back cover. Classic Frazetta cover originally used in the US for Vampirella 11. For some reason, this issue doesn't show up that often. $60  Sold to Dr. Balls

I didn't know about the French versions, but I've adjusted my Vampirella collection to just focus on covers I like, rather than trying to complete it - I love this Frazetta piece and having it on a French Vampirella is kinda cool. Look forward to seeing the difference in cover quality.

Vampirella 9 (French), 7.5. Very fresh book with some sort of wear at the top of the spine (sort of visible in scan). One of the reasons I love this book is that it was originally used in the US for Eerie 35. Something about that art with Vampirella logo is pretty cool. $60  Sold to JRBaxter
