Vampire Tales #2 Debuts Satana, Taking Bids Up for Auction
Vampire Tales is one of the coolest books out there. Super hard to come by in any kind of good shape, the 11-issue run is a fun one to put together, with the painted covers and gothic 70's vibe. All 11 issues ran in 1973, and of particular interest is issue #2, which within its pages contains the first appearance of Satana. That has made this the issue to own out of the run. This copy, a CGC 5.5 copy that displays really well, is taking bids today at Heritage Auctions, and as of this writing is sitting at only $36, a great chance to snag this one cheap.
