I’d like to read some classic Vampirella someday because the summary of the #50 issue is amusing.  For some reason Vampirella is being all emo in a graveyard and runs into a dead body and a panicking lady who turns into a panther and attacks her.  This was do to a magic necklace which is torn off in the their fight causing the lady to change back.  Freaked out the lady runs into tragic and gets hit by a trolley.  

 Another murder happens in the Central City’s Wildwood Cemetery and since Vampi and friends have the necklace they figure some other thing that goes bump in the night must be lurking in the Cemetery.  So they decide to look at police records for clues and a report by the police commissioner Dolan dated 1940 catches their eyes. 

Back in the day some mad scientist was going poison the city’s drinking water with a suspended animation drug. A young PI Denny Colt stopped the plot but was found dead at the scene face down in a pool of the liquid drug.  Denny Colt was then buried in Wildwood and his tomb stone was in the establishing Vampirella emos out panel.  The group then assumes that maybe Colt wasn’t dead but in suspended animation and his body has been getting slowly eaten by creepy crawlies for 35 years and he finally awoke as a crazed monster.  

Vampirella and her boyfriend then go have some antics with alien panthers because at this point in time Vampirella is an alien from another planet. Comic books what can I say.

 Meanwhile her boyfriend's dad and their magician friend work the Denny Colt angle by staking out the cemetery.  They finally hear a scream an stop the murder of a woman but the creature escapes  into the sewers.  The comic relief  magician gives chase but soon lets out a screen only to return with the killer tied up.  It ends up being not the zombie of Denny Colt but some loser who was killing off his former female coworkers from his old job.

When asked how the hell did the comic relief magician managed to capture the murder?  He tells them that he had panicked and conjured some big guy in a blue mask.  The magician that turns to look at Colts gravestone to see a masked man in a suit waving at him.  He takes off running much to the confusion of the others.

The whole joke this is a sort of cross over with Will Eisner’s The Spirit.  The Vampirella gang are half right,  Colt was in suspended animation but he woke up a few days later and decided to become a masked vigilante.  So maybe Pendragon the Magician didn’t summon anything he just got saved by Central City’s resident masked hero on his way home.

 While always depicted as a non powered  detective who’s to say those chemicals didn’t slow his aging?  Hate to say it but Miller was on to something, to bad he ampped things up to 11.  I like the idea of accidentally immortal “The Spirit”, because the correct way to play it would be as not important at all.  

Update as I started writting this over a decade ago I did get to read the comic and I had a little Linkara in my head going “What is with cripes in Wildwood cemetery?” They have vast under ground space to build secret bases and hide space ships.  Don’t get me started on the famous skylight to nowhere, which is oddly absent in this.
