I might have to pick this one up to read! It's all reprint, other than the nice Gonzales cover. The story was originally in Vampi 30-31. oakman29, flashlites and Jayman 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Randall Dowling Posted March 10, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted March 10, 2022 I wanted to give credit to @The Troll King for an excellent transaction and although this isn't his kudos thread, I wanted to share what he threw in. A very cool variant that I wanted when it came out but forgot about. Really awesome. OtherEric, jimjum12, Surfing Alien and 6 others 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Surfing Alien Posted March 18, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted March 18, 2022 This one was hard to find in decent shape but finally snagged one. Nearly every copy I see is yellowed and/or rubbed with dirt on the cover. The tiny bindery tear bugs me because I can't get it to behave and sit flush with the spine but it's pretty nice otherwise. I don't usually get "excited" over comic art but I have to say it's a pretty tantalizing tail-lights cover flashlites, Jayman, OtherEric and 8 others 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My #34 does show a little dirt in the white areas, not nearly as nice as yours there. Thanks for sharing!

Popular Post OtherEric Posted March 25, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted March 25, 2022 Today's book. It doesn't seem to currently have the reputation for scarcity that the #3 or #113 do, but it's not that common either: oakman29, Randall Dowling, Surfing Alien and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems that it was originally going to be the cover for Vampi #1, but they ultimately decided it wasn't good enough/the right one/whatever and that's when they went to Frazetta. flashlites, OtherEric, Randall Dowling and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It disappears from the ads around the same time the #3 does... but came out between #13 and #14. oakman29, Randall Dowling, flashlites and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oakman29 Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 (edited) It took a lot of years to find one in this grade. I'm thinking 9.0/9.2ish. What say you guys?

Jayman Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 Mine was from the Collingswood Auction here in NJ. Probably a 7.5-8.0 but only $3.50! OtherEric, flashlites, oakman29 and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axe Elf Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 In a 9.4 and higher, you can actually make out her labia. Coincidentally, I featured this very cover in a little fan video I've been working on for the song "Evil Angel" by the Demonics, using Vampirella covers to illustrate the song. I just finished it tonight. (Well, it's not all THAT coincidental, since I featured like 50 of them, but hey, it makes a nice segue.) Anyway, if you like pop punk and Vampirella, click on the link. (If you don't like pop punk, click on the link and turn the sound down.) YouTube has a thing about using other people's music for your videos, so I can't embed it here--but I think it fits the topic of the thread (even if they're stock photos and not MY Vampirellas).
