Vampirella #58

Warren Magazine's Vampirella #58 (1977) goes all out for its Super Special Giant Holiday Issue, promising seven spectacular stories including "Lenore," written by Roger McKenzie. Enrich Torres's painted cover is a striking image of Vampirella herself, arms raised defiantly against a massive amber moon in a star-scattered sky — a pose that perfectly matches the cover's teaser about her defying the deadly curse of Darkmore Castle. With that dramatic composition and a full lineup of tales inside, this oversized issue makes a strong case for being one of the more ambitious entries in Warren's run.
