Vampirella initially appeared in Warren Publishing's black-and-white horror-comics magazine "Vampirella" #1 (Sept. 1969), running to issue #112 (March 1983), plus a 1972 annual reprinting stories from the series, and a 1977 annual with reprints and one new story. The title was a sister magazine of Warren's horror anthologies "Creepy" and "Eerie". Like those magazines' respective mascots, Uncle Creepy and Cousin Eerie, Vampirella hosted horror stories, though unlike them, she would also star in her own story, which would headline each issue. "Vampirella" was initially edited by Bill Parente. It would later be edited by Archie Goodwin (issues #7–12, 34–35), Billy Graham (#13–16), Bill DuBay (#21–50, 87–95, 101–102) and Louise Jones (#51–86).
