Me too. I was big fan of her 90's series.

I occasionally mock her for it, but I do so very much enjoy how she doesn’t shy away from comics blatant use of cheesecake. I find it amusing that she even calls it “cake”! Lol

Her thoughts on this match my own.

I totally agree with you. I am also a gay man and I appreciate her character design and personality. It’s so fun. I was thinking about it and came to the conclusion that drinking wine from a regular glass feels nasty when as drinking from a wine glass feels glamorous. I think Vampirella has a glamorous form. If she didn’t have that form it may be boring on the eyes.

I am a collector as well - I’m sure you’ve seen the Shannon Maer run! 🔥❤️🔥

I remember Ackerman & Harryhausen both giving a talk at the Plaza cinema in Stockport, UK, when it reopened after being returned to a cinema following many years as a bingo hall. The show was Laurel & Hardy 'The Music Box' (IIRC) followed by the 1933 King Kong.

Love Vampi! I have almost half the original run. Anything Frazetta is too awesome to ignore. RIP

Viva la queso?!

Vampirella is cool.

I've recently become a fan of Vampirella through the modern Dynamite comics and she's definitely an interesting mixed with guilty pleasure comic

Should I feel embarrassed to admit that I'm 59 & have the 6 foot Jose Gonzalez poster in my bedroom? (yes, I'm single. What was your first clue?)

I choose to keep it simple. You really can't complain about a costume you created. That still looks the same from its first issue years later. By the way, I do have that first issue, bought it a con a few years ago for $10 just to see what the first appearance was like.

She HAS to wear the outfit, I mean, it's a lot of the reason why people like her. However, she doesn't have to wear the thing all the time. Maybe go in the direction of Wonder Woman and only have her wear it for certain scenes. In between the big moments, maybe she could wear civilian outfits or something. To be honest though, I don't know how they're going to film a new version. If they go dark and serious with this character, they're missing the point. The whole movie has to be intentional b-movie cheesecake or it won't work. If they filmmakers aren't winking at the audience, then you just got a bimbo doing unbelievable things and are supposed to take it seriously. You can't market at for everyone, it's a niche market.

I really love the cloth version of the outfit, it looks simple yet really elegant. Not a fan of that shiny/plasticky version in that old movie though with the bat undies lol. I agree that it'd be something that would need to be adapted for a future actress' benefit... Like maybe it could just be her underwear and over it she could wear her cool suit or whatever :)

There’s cloth tape to keep everything in place now. As a combat outfit, I’m not sure how anything short of superglue would work. But if it’s good enough for the catwalk, it’s probably good enough for… what do I say here, “casual wear”? No, that’s not quite right either….

I think the costume in vampirella #14 variant cover is great it look boss as heck not really out of place in today fashion and fuctional

Salterella... love it! 😁

@@andrewgwilliam4831 That’s not entirely fair. She loved how cheesy the movie was.

@rackstraw "Sasha is...Salterella" Love It! Well First off I Too Would Like To Start off By Wishing Sasha A Happy Mothers Day. And To Say That As A Straight Male, There Is NOTHING Wrong With "Sexualising" Vampirella, That Female Creator of Vampirella Did. She Knew The Demographic of Comicbook Readers (Mostly Straight Male) She Had NO Problem At The Time of Profiting By "Selling" Sex. Only When Male Writers/Artists Took Over Did It Now Become A "Sexualization Issue" Women Sell Sex All The Time, "Lovers Become Mothers" I Gaurantee That The Majority of Sasha Viewers Are Straight Male, Both Because of The Content (Critiquing Comicbooks) And The Fact That Sasha Is An Attractive, Nerdy (But Also Intelligent And Articulate) Girl Who Shares Our Interests. I For One Would Love To Live In A World Where Women Acknowledge That Yes "They Sell Sex" And Stop This Pretense That They Are Victims of "Sexualization" When Women Victimize Men By Treating Them Like ATM'S (Success Objects) All The Time And Don't Give It A Second Thought.

Not overly familiar with the comic. Yet god, I hope this isn’t some sorta euphemism! Lol

Vampirella was the first visual I can remember causing a certain male reflex down below.

I have questions, many, many questions. For starters: Do they ever explain what caused the blood draught back home? Has it been resolved? Does everyone there have the bat-birthmark? Do we know anything about their society? Was she a typical representative of her people?

@@CieJe.Alexander I do believe her current iteration at Dynamite returns to Draculon.

‘69 dude, that makes her almost as old as Spider-Man!

Pepe was the best Vampi artist in my humble opinion. & cover artist Enrich was amazing, too.

Got the Gonzales door poster hanging in my living room.

@@jeffsuter344 AWESOMENESS they name is Jeff!

@@jeffsuter344 I bought mine last Christmas! Love it!!

Try the Paul Cornell run that Jeremy Whitley finished up. A _very_ good run, imho.

You know this is literally a comic discussion channel, right? Are ya trolling here, new here, or are you just “that guy”?? …not trying to start a flame war, just really curious. Legit. Like, it’s in the opening & closing closing of every video, so I’m very confused by your point. Not shining you on, do you see how quashing discussion is antithetical to a comic discussion channel?

They should change the costume.

I imagine anyone who wears almost-clothes like the this would rather be (or don’t care one way or another if they are) naked. Or they are really confident that the tape will hold. Perhaps they are just using superglue instead. Otherwise, short of a belt with two strips of tape, it body paint. Not sure any of these things count during combat (unless you’re trying to distract the opponent).

I love the Warren issues, but not the Harris or Dynamite versions.

I was trying to think up a witty variation of the "I just get it for the articles....excellent journalism" comment frequently used in years past by subscribers to Playboy magazine, but you did so unironically! Props to you.

As far as cake goes, I had to pause to read (note: actually read) the delightfully pure cringe panels as they flashed by during the recent Starfire limited series had more serious cheesecake. And personally, I’m mentioning this because it was more cheese than cake; “…And I don’t even like sweet potatoes!” 😅

Granted, that notion slips a bit when someone like Christopher Priest takes over...not known for flattering portrayals of women at all...

Say, were you reading those comics one-handed? (I had to make that joke somewhere here today, sorry it was you man! Hahaha)

Yes; Lady Death always felt like a “poor man’s Vampirella” (despite somewhat slightly more positive critical appeal, from what I recall). Edit: I totally dig the name by the way; I loved The Craft too! If “Manuel Deity” wasn’t already taken, I wouldn’t be just another madman on the internet.

Well, damn! Having an overactive imagination, and facing a statement like “leaves little to..”, I had to have a defined image. Only needed to see page 6. Now I know where Raimi sourced the more graphic imagery from his remake of the Evil Dead. I still pictured worse; a whole lot of evil can be done to a vampire by a piece of living wood. I used to role play Vampire the Masquerade, you see, as a Tzmisce revenant embraced by a Malkavian if that makes sense to anyone.
