| Vampirella #1 (Sept. 1969) |
Vampirella initially appeared as a hostess-type character in
Warren Publishing's b& w horror anthology Vampirella #1 (Sept. 1969),
Forrest Ackerman created or at least had a strong hand in shaping the
lighthearted "bad-girl story style" of the feature but Vamp was
designed by veteran comics artist Trina Robbins. Later the hostess aspect
was dropped and the strip began focusing on the characters ongoing adventures,
José González became the character's primary artist starting with issue
#12.
Vampi was not your typical supernatural vampire, as she
hailed from the planet Drakulon, although she did possess various attributes
related to vampirism such as shapeshifting, immortality, superhuman
strength-speed-senses, enhanced night vision, a healing factor, flight,
hypnosis and telepathy.
Her original series ended with #112 in 1983, although
Vampirella has continued to be revived under the auspices of other publishers.
