BONUS REVIEW by "Doc" Schaefer
 This is the real Vampirella! I don't care if the is a replica edition or not. Ackerman & Sutton must have known they had a winner here. The funny part is that as this book shows, Vampirella was more story hostess than full blown action/horror strip. Sutton's art highlights the cute sexy nature of the character more than anything. And the initial story, the crashed human manned spaceship is little more than a reason for funny one-liners. I don't think anyone realized how Vampirella was going to turn into a cultural icon after just a few issues. But the real fun here is the various short stories here illustrated by such names as Neal Adams, Ernie Colon, Reed Crandall. A wonderful example of a magazine my mother refused to let me read. (Did it anyway!) I give it 10 out of 10 Grahams VERY FINE/NEAR MINT
