Vampirella #82

Vampirella #82 from Warren's October 1979 lineup poses a genuinely unsettling question right on the cover: will Vampi succumb to a death cult's orgy of destruction? José González's cover art presents Vampirella draped languidly in her signature red costume, set against an enormous, elaborately decorated ceremonial mask rendered in vivid greens, golds, and reds — a striking image that makes the lurking threat feel both exotic and ominous. Inside, González also handles art duties on "The Lost Soul of Adam Van Helsing," making this a thoroughly satisfying showcase for one of the genre's most distinctive visual talents.
