They're a vampire!" ending here because it was actually done properly and made sense as to why the Crusher was so sadistic when it came to beating up the bad guys. <br />"The Soft Sweet Lips of Death" is surprisingly good coming from a comic series in which most of the stories are headscratchers (Such as Snake Eyes with the snake girl who eats hamsters and mongoose people hiding out inside the museum) or just excuses for scantily clad women. This one actually tells a coherent story with lovely art.Glowwormhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01621527075382017998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6672923492889685727.post-16104241011505852352020-03-02T10:36:02.693-08:002020-03-02T10:36:02.693-08:00So Dynamite left even more stories out?

It was a shame that they seemingly didn't got the right for Ortiz' The Fox in the last books. <br /><br />The most ridiculous thing in Vampirella #10 is the report about the Miss American Vampire Contest in New York. Next to the awful short-short prose stories on the other page. But Brunner, Adams, Wood, all a step in the right direction.<br /><br />The cover is great, even if the strategical hairdo of our warrior-woman is hilarious.andydeckerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01312309519462680892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6672923492889685727.post-69266583265489973012020-03-02T09:38:59.880-08:002020-03-02T09:38:59.880-08:00I've always been fond of "Regeneration Ga...I've always been fond of "Regeneration Gap"; that hilarious ending where our protagonist embraces the beautiful girl, rubs his hand through her hair, and her entire scalp comes off, followed by her entire body falling apart in front of him is a particularly memorable image. Agreed that Vampirella #10 is quite a strong issue; 2 good Tom Sutton stories plus work from Ralph Reese, Frank Brunner, Neal Adamss, Wally Wood, heck every single artist working on this issue is a good one. For those collecting Warren via the reprints we've seen from Dynamite and Dark Horse, I think "Fiends in the Night" is a kind of a lost story as it wasn't included in Dynamite's Vampirella collection due to Uncle Creepy hosting it. I own the original, so no such worry for me. This will be the final issue of Vampirella to not feature a story starring the titular character.
