VIVACIOUS UIGNETTES

This month's VAMPI news was so big, we decided to announce it in our letter column (on page 75)! But we've got plenty of announcements concerning the other Warren magazines! Like our special super-heroes issue of EERIE! And the upcoming GOBLIN color sections! And lots more!

JEAN-PAUL SARTRE SERIES?

So you think comic books can't be serious, huh?
We spoke with Rich Margopoulos concerning
our special EERIE HEROES issue, and he gave
us the following insight into the creation of his
character Hunter... specifically, his decision to
give the mutant killerahelmet. In addition to the
need to cover Hunter's copper-colored skin.
Rich was influenced by a saying of Jean-Paul
Sartre's:

EERIE
We

the

get old

how fondly our readers remany super-hero series we ran in

the early 70's! But following EERIE #130, which

starred the most popular characters ever to appear in the magazine, we were besieged with requests for more.. .more. .more! Plans are being
made to bring back some of these heroes in
team-up tales, and possibly even series of their
own. But for now, the December EERIE (#137)
features the origins of.. .Hunter! Exterminator
One! Daridon the Mystic! Spook! Coffin! And
the Mummy! We're talking Jim Starlin, Doug
Moench, Esteban Marolo, Jose Ortiz, and like
that! There's also a complete index to (he above-

named heroes, and other surprises! The Warren

age of super-heroes is about to explode.. .trust

And if you want to know who's who and

how they got that way, EERIE #137 is a must!
us!

"Whenever two people's eyes meet,

one averts his gaze. The one thus dominates the

other, and reduces him to the level of an object."
Pretty heavy stuff, hmm? Now, if we could just
Jean-Paul to try his hand at comics,..!

HEROES ORIGIN ISSUE!

membered

COMING COLOR SECTIONS!

All right. .we
.

know the monthly

wait to find out

what the new EERIE color section will be is

driving you nuts! Issue #138 features "Granny

Gutman and the Limbo Men" by Rich Margopoulus and Fred Carrillo! The Crimson Trident,
Foxfire, and Talus will turn the super-hero world
on its ear... if Granny doesn't cane them to death
first! Slated for the following issue is "The InfiForce" by Bill DuBay and Rudy Nebres!
We like both introductory episodes so much,
we're going to alternate the two series in our color sectionuntil something we like better pushes
them out! (Talk about 'no room at the inn'!)

nity

WARREN STRIKES OUT!

We've got to admit. ..reading every month in the
Marvel Comics fan page about their Softball
team's exploits made us jealous! We wanted to
write about our softball team, too! So we
formed one, and challenged our publishing ri-

DIANA JACKUGHTER ENDS!

With compulsive completionists like us, you've
got to enjoy a good series while it lasts it's not
going to be around forever! The December issue

plus the long-awaited extraterrestrial epic, "The

warden finally tracks down the last of her runconvicts... and learns the shattering truth
about the mission that's occupied her these
many months! If you've followed the Bruce

be surpriiiised! (Heck. ..we'd terminate Vampirella if we could think of an ending this good !) [t

vals! As for the result. ..well, does it matter?

Does it really? Isn't sportsmanship what it's all
about? Let's talk instead about the way Bill
DuBay hung in at third base even after the
fourth ground ball off his forehead. How BUI
Mohalley bravely withstood the opposition's demand that he get at least every other pitch within
ten feet of home plate. How Tim Moriarty
reached into his own pocket for cab fare to chase
several of the fly balls hit over his head. Not to
mention the heroism of Richard Hecht, Roy
Arnujos, and David Allikas! So, we ask you...

HOME JOURNAL type which run

sexually suggestive and explicit lingerie ads. The character of the heroine is the significant factor. Her fans
care about her, and this is what spells
the difference.
Plaudits to Rich Margopoulos for
his concept that Vompirella's romantic susceptibility constitutes a form
of weakness. It is a weakness which I
am sure is dear to the hearts of many
of her fans.
And, to Jose Gonzalez for his taste
and restraint in illustrating this
theme. His drawing remains unsullied by the self-conscious humor, sick
violence, and emotionless "meat
market" mentality than infects so
much currently available material.

Timothy Morlarty certainly seems

MIKE JONES

In the 1081 Warren Awards, anin issue #108, it is stated

nounced

more than once that "reader reaction" was significant in selecting the
winners. Yet the ultimate effect of
discontinuing the letter columns in
all the Warren mags is that fewer and
fewer letters will be received. Having
no lettered gives readers the impression that Warren doesn't care about
their views, and few people are going
to bother to write when they think
that they're being ignored.
Lettercols can also help sales, as
they engender a spirit of community
among readers and the creative staff,
and also let the reader know that
there really are lots of others who buy

the mags. A fan may even come up

with a worthwhile suggestion every

now and then.

Certainly, "reader reaction " can be

partially measured by sales figures,
but this reflects on the issue as a
whole, not on its separate features.
Especially with anthology books like
Warren publishes, it is almost impossible to tell from sales alone
which features the readers enjoyed.
For instance, in #108 I found the
three "main" features (Vampi, Pan
tha, and the Fox) to be the least enjoy-

Vampi was pedestrian

and repetitive, Pan tha was only marable of the six.

ginally interesting (due to the bizarre

nature of her opponents), and the
Fox showed far less inventiveness

and subtlety than has been the norm

in previous installments.

On

the other hand, Torpedo had

Alex Toth's striking illustration of a

succinct and involving tale by Sanchez Abuli; Jeremy continued Paul
GUlon's storybook-style work on this
interesting genre piece; and Sweet-

water Nessie was still more of the

unique work of Don McGregor aided
by the unusually appropriate art of

Kansas City, Missouri

Auraleon.
So bring back the lettered already!

Words can't express my delight at

seeing Jose Gonzalez back on Vampirella on a regular basis. I'd rather
have an 8-page Vampi story by him
than a 20-pager by anyone else.
JOHN E. VETTER

We didn't know what reader reac-

VAMPIRELLA,

because

not been granted.

We are tired of reprints. We are
bored by inferior stories with no
plots. I don't have to give examples,
because flipping through any of the
recent issues will show what I mean.
The cover art is superb, and a great
deal of credit and recognition should
be given to Enrich. But excellent
covers will not make up for the balance of the magazine.
We've also been asking for more
pages to the Vampi stories, but Warren has ignored us. It's a little
strange when the lead story of a magazine is shorter than the rest. For example, the Vampi adventure in #108
was only eight pages long, while
Sweetwater Nessie was thirteen.
We realize that Jose Gonzalez is

rendering like "A Love Blessed in

Hell" is even noticed amidst the prurience and perversion that currently
saturate the newsstands.
If VAMPI #106 is a big seller due to
the sexual content of the lead storyline and illustration then it can't be
that element which is primarily responsible. Far more graphic material
is available in almost every magazine, from those whioh follow the
PLAYBOY format thru the LADIES'

nothing is ever done. Dozens of issues ago, many letters were appearing asking for Vampi to be

squeeze a certain number of pages
from him. But we're not paving big

money for a little squeeze.

RONALD ACLOGUE

Dorchester, Mass.
It's true that many of the requests
our readers have made have not been
granted, Ron.. .for a number of practical treasons. Some of these changes,
however, are already being acted up
on... Including one which you suggest
in your letter! Read the special an-

nouncement below for details!

23 PAGES OP VAMPI!
We promised you more Vampi

now that the magazine has expanded to SO pages.. And we're following through! (Surprised?) You've
no doubt noticed that this issue
contains both a Jose Gonzalez lead
story and the first entry in our
"Tales of Lost Drakulon" serlesl
But it's next issue that will firmly
implant you in the ceiling, featuring Vampirella in "The Walker of
Worlds" by Gonzalez, and in Gonzalo Mayo's 15-page "Sins of thy
Fathers"! We hyperbolize so
much, we're afraid you won't believe us when we tell you that
"Walker of Worlds" is Gonzalez'
greatest work In years. ..but 'tis
true! Tis true! And the tale's title
character is sure to become a
mainstay of the Warren world!
The same issue (#1 1 1) features the
Fox, Torpedo, Jeremy, and other
surprises! It's the greatest bargain under the twin suns, and
be all yours on November 16!
