let me say that,
First,
wise, VAMPIRELLA
had about the
overall quality of any recent
issue. Of course, the stories
they illustrated were a rath-
er mixed bag. But when hasn't
that been true?
Take this month's VAMPI-
RELLA adventure as an exam-
ple. While "Lenore" didn't
evince the greatest art ever
from Jose Gonzalez, it was
good nonetheless. He man-
aged to capture the moodi-
ness of the story very well.
It's a pity that the script didn't
allow more scope for his tal-
ents.
While it was interesting to
see some continuity returned
to the VAMPIRELLA series,
Roger McKenzie's sequel to
"City of Ghosts" wasn't up to
the standard he set with that
story. The qualities that work-
ed well there, were less suc-
cessful here. "Lenore" sup-
posedly took place in the
"real" world.unlike (perhaps)
"City of Ghosts," where there
must be some attempt at ex-
planation, however farfetch-
ed. Instead, we were offered
no reason why (for instance)
the castle crumbles to the
ground when Darkmore dies,
or any explanation for his
knowingVAMPI's, Adam's, and
Pendragon's names. It takes
something more than: "Noth-
ing concerns Castle Darkmore

bility that McKenzie might be
planning to bring him back in

VAMPI #58 was a special!
"Little Monsters" was O.K.,
but a bit familiar. Carmine In-
fantino and Dick Giordano
work well together, though.
"Sleeping Beauty" by Este-
ban Maroto had dynamic
work, but it was sideways!
Please don't use this method
of illustration often. The sto-
ry was well-written, yet its
ending seemed a little anti-
climactic.
The cover by Enrich was
classic. His use of color is al-
ways superb and realistic.

beautiful Frazetta cover and

 By Joe Brancatelli
Australian press baron
and National Star pub-
lisher Rupert Murdoch
ponied up an estimated $30
million in December to buy
the chronically ill New York
Post from autocratic old
Dolly Schiff. On the same
day he officially became pub-
lisher of the paper Alexan-
der Hamilton
1801, he also purchased con-
trolling interest in the
pany which publishes New
York, New West and the Vil-
lage Voice.
Now Murdoch, who owns
the San Antonio News-Ex-
press and about 85 other pa-
pers in England and Aus-
tralia, still has
money left to throw around.
Chances are that he won't
spend any of it to buy a
comic-book company, how-
ever, and that said, don't
expect any major upheavals
in the industry during 1977.
There's bound to be a passel
of smaller changes, though,
and here are some of the pos-
sibilities:

No guesswork here, either,
just the law of averages. He

the last decade.

And even though Marvel
has the often-demonstrated
penchant for screwing up
sure things, Godzilla's in-

whether Stan and the boys
are even aware of the extent
of Godzilla's rabid following.

Despite the fact that the
comic-book industry is rap-

academic interest in comic

far and away the most visible

He's got a ton of powerful

the rest of the movement

as it did in 1975 and 1974
before that, Crumb started
a short-lived Mr. Natural

then unwittingly caused a

 12 EVIL EDGAR ALLAN POE RECORDS!
GREATEST HORROR RECORD SERIES OF ALL TIME!
Talented actors Martin Donegan and Ugo Toppo
share the honors and glory of this monumental
project The Recording of the Complete Stories
of Edgar Allan Poe! The project is still going
on, and already there are 8 masterful records
in six single albums and one double album; each
read with skill, precision, and a sure sense of
nerve-numbing terror. Each reading is so well
done, that the horrible word pictures of Poe's
diseased psyche seem to materialize before your
eyes: rotting castles, scurrying rat-things, the
walking-dead in their pale shrouds seem to vi-
brate in the air as the words of the world's
greatest macabre storyteller ripple the ether!

e top artists of the superna-
ral, Enrich. But as we promised
the title (and Warren Publish-
) always keeps their promises)
i have concentrated on Enrich's
Is. Each gorgeous gal is a de-
bt to behold, with a haunting
auty only the unusual talents
Enrich could immortalize on
nvas. A seductive ghoul girl
reatens to make you her next
:tim. A barbaric huntress axes
bizarre game. An innocent, young
ing alone in the woods -awaits
e approach of an unseen terror,
id then there's our own beloved
mme fatale, Vampirella. Running
rough the night to escape some
eaded fiend. Stalking her prey
th blood-lust in her eyes. Meek
id loving. Flaunting her beauty
id power. Which of these is our
impirella? All of them are. The
iries of color, action portraits
Vampirella reveal a heroine
real and complex as any live
ing. Haughty. Mild. Always Vampi.
