VAMPIRELLA NO. 9 (PART 1)


Inset over Wallace Wood's illustration for the interior story, "The Curse" is Boris Vallejo's first work published in North America. He had painted a cover for EERIE that was accepted before this, but the issue wasn't published until June 1971. Chris Fellner's script credit for "Jack the Ripper Strikes Again" is changed to Fred Ott when it was reprinted in Vampi #19. An error or the same person?

NOTE: Errors in cover dates for posts of earlier issues have been corrected.

DAGAR THE INVINCIBLE


Dagar was an earlier entry in the race to compete with Marvel's runaway hit, CONAN THE BARBARIAN. It ran for 19 issues, lasting longer than many other publisher's sword and sorcery titles. It was created by writer Don Glut and artist Jesse Santos.

In 2011, Dark Horse released a hardcover collection of issues 1-9, with no follow-up with the rest of the issues.
