Vampirella #60

Warren Magazine's Vampirella #60 (May 1977) promises dark sorcery and high stakes as the Blood Red Queen of Hearts makes her return. Enrich's moody cover depicts a pale, white-haired blind priestess standing over a kneeling, red-clad Vampirella, dagger in hand, while a leering demon lurks in the shadows behind them — a tableau that makes the cover copy's warning about Pendragon's heart and Vampirella's imperiled sight feel genuinely ominous. Inside, Bill DuBay's script and José González's artwork bring "The Return of the Blood Red Queen" to life in the atmospheric style that made Warren's horror magazines a compelling alternative to mainstream comics throughout the 1970s.
