Vampirella #87

Warren's Vampirella No. 87 (May 1980) bills itself as a Collector's Edition Classic, and the striking painted cover — showing Vampirella in her signature red costume, her dark cape spread wide behind her — makes a strong case for that claim. The issue promises a book-length Vampirella novel with Drakulon as the destination, plus additional features spotlighting Pantha, Starpatch, and Blood Queen. Writer Bill DuBay delivers "The Return of the Blood Red Queen," making this a particularly meaty entry in Warren's long-running horror magazine series.
