 UflfllPI'S 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 con-
cerning 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?

EERIE HEROES ORIGIN ISSUE!
We didn't realize how fondly our readers re-
membered the many super-hero series we ran in
the early 70's! But following EERIE #130, which
starred the most popular characters ever to ap-
pear in the magazine, we were besieged with re-
quests 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
us!And if you want to know who's who and
how they got that way, EERIE #137 is a must!
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: "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
get old Jean-Paul to try his hand at comics,..!
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 Margo-
poulus 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 Infi-
nity Force" by Bill DuBay and Rudy Nebres!
We like both introductory episodes so much,
we're going to alternate the two series in our col-
or sectionuntil something we like better pushes
them out! (Talk about 'no room at the inn'!)

WARREN STRIKES OUT!

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
of 1994 (#28) features the final episode of Diana
Jacklighter, Manhun tress! The rookie space
warden finally tracks down the last of her run-
away convicts... and learns the shattering truth
about the mission that's occupied her these
many months! If you've followed the Bruce
Jones, Dan HaUassey and Esteban Maroto series
from its beginning, we promise: you're going to
be surpriiiised! (Heck. ..we'd terminate Vampi-
rella if we could think of an ending this good !) [t
goes on sale October 19...for adults only, that is!
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-
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

Just a few days after VAMPI
#106 hit the stands, a local mer-
chant told me, "Sorry--we sold
out almost immediately! It's proba-
bly the most risque issue that they've
ever published."
Sex sells! I know that. What sur-
prises me is that a soft and sensitive
rendering like "A Love Blessed in
Hell" is even noticed amidst the pru-
rience and perversion that currently
saturate the newsstands.
If VAMPI #106 is a big seller due to
the sexual content of the lead story-
line and illustration then it can't be
that element which is primarily res-
ponsible. Far more graphic material
is available in almost every maga-
zine, from those whioh follow the
PLAYBOY format thru the LADIES'
HOME JOURNAL type which run
sexually suggestive and explicit lin-
gerie ads. The character of the hero-
ine 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 roman-
tic 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 unsul-
lied by the self-conscious humor, sick
violence, and emotionless "meat
market" mentality than infects so
much currently available material.

Writers' and artists' profiles are a
good possibility for our fan page,
Mike. Readers can consider this an
Invitation to write and tell us who
they'd like to see profiled.
Timothy Morlarty certainly seems
to be doing great things for the War-
ren mags! First the reappearance of
Jose Gonzalez and Enrich, then the
color comic book insert sections in
EERIE and THE GOBLIN!
But there is still room for improve-
ment. First, Rich Margopoulos
should be relieved of his duties as
Vampirella scripter. Secondly, I'd
like to see the writers' and artists'
profiles brought back.
MIKE JONES
Kansas City, Missouri
Words can't express my delight at
seeing Jose Gonzalez back on Vampi-
rella on a regular basis. I'd rather
have an 8-page Vampi story by him
than a 20-pager by anyone else.

SEND COMMENTS TO: VAMPI'S SCARLET LETTERS, WARREN PUBLISHING CO.,
In the 1081 Warren Awards, an-
nounced in issue #108, it is stated
more than once that "reader reac-
tion" 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 impres-
sion 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 im-
possible 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
able of the six.
and repetitive, Pan tha was only mar-
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 San-
chez 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
Auraleon.
So bring back the lettered already!
"T.M. MAPLE"
Toronto, Ontario
We didn't know what reader reac-
tion was until we tried doing without
the letter column! Thanks to angry
voices like yours, "T M. t " It's back...
hopefully to stay!
I really don't know why we readers
bother to write requesting improve-
ments in VAMPIRELLA, because
nothing is ever done. Dozens of is-
sues ago, many letters were ap-
pearing asking for Vampi to be
drawn in color. But our request has
stillnot 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 bal-
ance of the magazine.
We've also been asking for more
pages to the Vampi stories, but War-
ren has ignored us. It's a little
strange when the lead story of a mag-
azine is shorter than the rest. For ex-
ample, the Vampi adventure in #108
was only eight pages long, while
Sweetwater Nessie was thirteen.
We realize that Jose Gonzalez is
busy and that Warren can only
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 prac-
tical 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 expan-
ded to SO pages.. And we're follow-
ing 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, featur-
ing Vampirella in "The Walker of
Worlds" by Gonzalez, and in Gon-
zalo Mayo's 15-page "Sins of thy
Fathers"! We hyperbolize so
much, we're afraid you won't be-
lieve 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 bar-
gain under the twin suns, and it'll
be all yours on November 16!
