Vampirella #22, March 1973
Romance. Longing. Despair.
Is this a romance comic or a Vampirella story?
Why not both?
Frankly, it’s gorgeous art like this from Jose Gonzalez – the best of a very talented group of Vampi artists during her original Warren run — which makes the melodrama secondary for me. This is my second piece of Gonzalez art, and this one is an absolute keeper. (Ok, I had to sell the first one to help finance this one.)
