Vampirella #96

This May 1981 Warren Magazine entry finds Vampirella crouching vulnerably beneath a full moon while a dark, caped figure looms behind her with a raised blade — a painted cover by Jorge Longarón that pulses with gothic dread against a backdrop of shadowy spires. The cover copy promises that Pendragon's spell has been fully cast, unleashing "The Hound of Hell" as the final terror begins. Inside, writer Rich Margopoulos and artist Rudy Nebres bring that threat to life in what sounds like a genuinely ominous chapter for Warren's scarlet sorceress.
