Vampirella (I.P.C. UK Editions)

divider

Issue #1 (February 1975)

Regular cover - Manuel Sanjulian £0.30

The Origin of Vampirella
Artist - José Gonzalez / Writer - J. R. Cochman

An extended version of Vampirella's origin, with more information about Drakulon and her relationship with Tristan. A slight variant on the Warren origins, both Vampirella nd Tristan approach the spaceship from Earth, and Tristan is killed by the "laser blasts" of the Earthmen.

divider

A completely new (though familiar) origin story for Vampirella. This issue is a real collector's piece if only for a Jose Gonzalez story that was never published in the USA.

Backing up the Vampirella story is a collection of Warren horror reprints; Wolf Hunt (Esteban Maroto/Joe Wehrle, from Vampirella #14), Cry of the Dhampir (Auraleon/John Jacobson from Vampirella #22), and As Though They were Living (Richard Corben/ Gerry Boudreau - from Vampirella #30).

There is also a text only story The Call of the Dead (uncredited).

The text stories were translations of stories from the German editions of Vampirella.

A short lived series in the U.K., but it had the advantage over it's American cousins of having it's stories all in glorious colour.

 

TRIVIA: Dez Skinn of Quality Comics informs me that in the mid 1970s he was in negotiations with Jim Warren about publishing a UK version of Vampirella following the success of Dez' House of Hammer magazine. "But when the Hammer movie fell through, so did the deal and Jim Warren then got the hump about us exporting 200,000 launch edition US HoHs into HIS territory!"

Quality Comics is part of Quality Communications Ltd, publishers of Comics International, Toy Max, Comix, Warrior, Marvelman, House of Hammer and more. Dez and Quality Comics have been around since 1965 and are still going strong!
