Vampirella No. 107, 1982

VERY GOOD/FINE 5.0 an above average but well-used comic magazine with moderate wear with reduced eye appeal due to accumulation of defects such as minor creases, ever so slight spine roll, blunted or abraded corners, fading, but no staining, discoloration, foxing, stamp or handwritten marks, no spine split, no staple discoloration and no staple tears. Centerfold is not loose or detached. Paper is brown to tan with no signs of brittleness. All in all, a complete and readable black and white Warren horror magazine. This is an all Esteban Maroto issue reprinting his past Warren work. A great starting point.

Price: USD$ 15.00 or Php 660.00 whichever is convenient for you.

Vampire Tales No. 1, 1973

VERY GOOD 4.0. An average used comic book with some significant moderate wear, without accumulating enough total defects to reduce eye appeal. Strangely, the worn look of this copy fits right in with the "horror" nature of the comic. Accumulation of creases on sides evident, corners are blunted, some fading and minor soiling in some interior pages present as will be shown in photos below. Amateur but not obvious tape repair in torn parts of the cover's spine area applied to maintain integrity of cover. Paper is brown but not brittle. No significant tears, and centerfold is not detached. All these allowed in this VG condition. 

Price: USD$ 20 or Php 880. 

This black and white Marvel Horror Magazine contains feature articles on vampire movies, a comics adaptation of the first vampire novel: Lord Ruthven, and the man-made Marvel vampire, Morbius. See photos below to appreciate.
