Columbian Vampi #1 with second interior cover that uses the original Vampi

Now, let’s talk about scarity. In my, now, almost 2
year search for foreign Vampirella, it’s become clear
to me that finding Vampirella is a lot more difficult
in some countries. Countries from South America
seem to be the worst. Chile and Brazil look to be
the hardest. I know that at least 4 Vampirella issue
were published in Chile in the beginning of the 70s,
but have never seen one for sale in 2 years. From
Colombia, I know that at least 2 issues were printed there (just learned about the second one) and
I’m sure they’re really hard to find and I probably
just been lucky finding them. Talking about Colombia, the first issue used the cover of the original #19
from Warren, but surprise, it’s a double cover issue
and the second one is the #1. Maybe I should put
it in my set of #1s as well. Also, that’s for the only
time around the world where Vampirella is spelled
with only one L.
« For the 1st time in color ». I didn’t know it at the
time, but it’s so far from the truth. The 1st reprint
of Vampirella #1 in color is the #1 from France (1st
print) with a cover date of September 1970 and the
#1 from Chile (May 1970). I don’t own those issues
yet but here’s a splash page of the color version
from Chile.

So, I hope you enjoyed seeing a little bit of my collection as much as I enjoy searching for and collecting them.
Funny fact: I remember during the Harris years, a
advertisement for a reprint of Vampirella #1 saying:
