French Vampirella magazine (1970 - 1976)
PUBLICNESS (Paris, France) published issues of Vampirella numbered zero through at least number 26, at least five collected "albums", and a special, all from 1970 to 1976. Each issue drew three to six stories, including a Vampirella story, from the contemporaneous Warren Vampirella (occasionally from Warren's Eerie or Creepy as well) - all translated into French. The rest of the content was comprised of film-related articles and reviews as well as a few pages of advertisements. The film-related content occupied a significant number of pages - beginning in no. 1 with a series entitled "Vampirama" (6 numbered installments), followed, beginning in no. 9, with a series entitled "Cinéma bis" (at least 16 numbered installments). An early series in nos. 1 through 8, entitled "L'écran des maniaques", featured principally stills from films. The film content featured. Other regular review columns included: Courrier [Letters] (in about 13 issues), Livres [Books] (in about 3 issues), Disques [Discs] (in about 4 issues), Concerts (in at least 1 issue). --http://isd.usc.edu/~shoaf/vampirella/chrono01.htm [Jun 2005]

Vampirella Magazine (1969-1983) est le premier magazine paru chez Warren. L’éditeur (déjà "coupable" des parutions horrifiques Eerie et Creepy) ruse en publiant ce magazine en noir & blanc. Une façon comme une autre de contourner le Comics Code qui ne considérait pas les publications N&B. Le magazine actuel rendra hommage à son modèle jusque dans le format : beaucoup plus grand qu’un comic-book classique.
Warren mettra la clé sous le paillasson en 1983 après 112 numéros de la série (le nombre est loin d’être certifié à 100%, l’auteur de Vampirella assurant qu’il n’y a eu que 108 numéros). --http://www.france-comics.com/article.php3?id_article=2151 [Jun 2005]

Lucifera vs Vampirella

Not only doesn't Lucifera look like Vampirella, she isn't like her in any other way. She's not a vampire, but a demoness/succubus. She frequently visits Hell, and enjoys sending people there to be tormented. Lucifera is also much more sexually explicit than Vampirella, as you'll soon see. --Curt via http://groovyageofhorror.blogspot.com/2005/03/lucifera.html [Jul 2005]
