Vampirella #3

Warren Publishing's Vampirella #3 (1970) arrives with a genuinely striking cover by Larry Todd and Vaughn Bodé: a fierce, wind-haired warrior woman perches atop a bizarre mechanical-organic flying creature, spear in hand, silhouetted against an enormous pale moon. The surreal fusion of science fiction and dark fantasy sets a fitting tone for a magazine promising "Blast Off! To a Nightmare" alongside six fresh stories of creeping terror — including "Wicked is Who Wicked Does!" written by Forrest J Ackerman and illustrated by Dick Piscopo. It's a wonderfully weird 1970 package from Warren that leans hard into the uncanny, and that cover alone makes a compelling case for flipping the page.
