Vampirella #42

Warren Magazine's Vampirella #42 (1975) delivers an atmospheric cover painting by Enrich Torres that sets a genuinely unsettling mood: Vampirella, in her signature red costume and black boots, stands warily among scattered human skulls on a misty jungle floor, a full moon glowing behind silhouetted palm trees as she recoils from something unseen. The cover copy promises deadly, flesh-eating killers lurking in a dark Amazon jungle — a fitting backdrop for the interior tale "The Mountain of Skulls," with art by José González. Rounding out the package is a second feature teasing the return of Pantha, making this a solid entry in Warren's distinctive line of horror magazines.
