Vampirella #54

Warren's Vampirella #54 (September 1976) leans into pure dread with a cover by Enrich Torres that puts Vampirella herself front and center — crouched low in her signature red costume, her dark eyes wide and predatory, poised as though she's about to spring. The cover copy raises the stakes beautifully, warning that a friend will fall by her hand — Adam? Conrad Van Helsing? Pendragon? — and daring readers to find out who faces her deadly fangs. Inside, writer Jan Strnad and artist Rich Corben deliver a giant book-length story, "The Day the Music Died," making this an especially substantial entry in Warren's beloved horror-magazine line.
