A female uampire was terrorizing New York
City. People were being slaughtered like
flies. Could this be Uampirella? Had the mis-
understood stranger from Draculon finally
gone berserk? Was she actually "The Monster
Called Uampirella?" These are examples of
some of the fright filled tales of terror
fromthelatest COMIX INTERNATIONAL. Comix
number one is already a rare collector's
item and two and three are vanishing fast.
The reason is because the quality of thase
magazines is easily recognizable. But never
mind that the stories are top notch . .

the artwork is beyond reproach. Every full

color page is printed upon high quality,
heavy stock paper to insure the perfect
reproduction. And, as a special added bonus,
there are two surprise stories in each . .
