Vampirella

Vampirella is a fictional character, a vampire heroine created by writer Forrest J Ackerman and artist Trina Robbins. She first appeared in the debut issue of the magazine Vampirella published by Warren Publishing in September 1969. Vampirella is an alien from the planet Drakulon, a world inhabited by vampires.

Over the decades, Vampirella has been featured in numerous comic books, magazines, and other media, published by various companies including Warren Publishing, Harris Comics, and Dynamite Entertainment. Her stories often blend horror, science fiction, and adventure, exploring themes of morality, redemption, and the supernatural. She has encountered a wide array of characters, from classic horror monsters to original creations. Her ongoing popularity has cemented her status as a significant figure in comic book history and a prominent female character in the horror genre.
