What *is* the vampires bane? What happens when it's fixed? Did this story have an editor? All important questions!<br /><br />BTW, she doesn't make a sexy vampire (the cape is just too bizarre), but does make one sexy nurse. I might be willing to re-injury myself! Trudy who? I think I'll stick around the hospital!<br /><br />"Hello, I'm your doctor. Yes, your nurse is bone white, that doesn't ring any alarms for me, nothing to worry about!"<br /><br />Did you notice the one odd thing about this story -- all the sound effects are just lettered in, instead of being balloon letters. I hardly ever see that.Brian Barneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15737535617796413548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-983171239671909762.post-44809688358145689742012-04-13T22:48:52.660-05:002012-04-13T22:48:52.660-05:00That got right talky real fast!
Vampire in a Supe...That got right talky real fast!<br /><br />Vampire in a Superhero outfit, green freaky grinning bat fiends, square jawed hero<br />and a hot blonde.

That's just on..."Don't be absurd, Bob. That's just one of those leather-clad S&M nurses that're all the rage these days!" That might not seem perfectly normal to us in this modern era, but remember: this was back in the days when a doctor might send your next of kin a gore-smeared murder weapon to remember you by.<br /><br />I like all the parts where Bob socks a vampire Ho Slave in the face. Especially in the splash, where the flying monkeys are depicted as actually glowing in the dark. And I am especially thrilled with the sound effect "YAAAK!" in the second-to-last panel. You can clearly see the lady's even holding her own hair back....Mr. Cavinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01634994342702518448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-983171239671909762.post-9159452916131441932012-04-13T15:58:24.854-05:002012-04-13T15:58:24.854-05:00This is a pretty fascinating piece of work if you ...This is a pretty fascinating piece of work if you put it in context of the era when it was published. It is clearly a Korean War vet's posttraumatic stress disorder story, almost certainly written by somebody back from that and dealing with his issues in a pop culture format. I thought it was very compelling. The vampire woman seems to represent perhaps a prostitute the vet was involved with overseas? Who can say. Thank you VERY MUCH for posting this unique piece.Trevor Mnoreply@blogger.com
