Vampirella #21

Warren's Vampirella #21 (December 1972) arrives with a sun-drenched, unsettling cover painted by Enrich, depicting Vampirella kneeling on desert sands beneath a massive, looming skull bathed in amber light — a striking image of dread and beauty in equal measure. The cover copy teases a desert encounter between Vampirella and Dracula against a "horrible giant slug," setting an appropriately wild tone for this anthology of illustrated tales to bewitch and bedevil. Inside, Dube handles writing, art, and inks for "Mind-Benders!" — a rare all-in-one creative effort that keeps this issue distinctly personal in its vision.
