Strange Circumstance Of Pantha & Vampirella


I had exhausted all my Warren Publishing Company Vampirella tales. At least so I thought. Not so fast. A character named Pantha debuted in Vampirella #30. It was a short stay. The part woman and part panther only lasted through Vampirella #33. Nothing spectacular. Unmemorable at best. Then the character then got her second wind in Vampirella. The revamped series intertwined characters from the Vampirella storyline. So all of these are technically Vampirella tales. I was not very observant when it came to Pantha. The final appearance of the character came in Vampirella #108. A successful revival. Toplessness was the norm not the exception throught the run. Pantha beat out Vampy when it came to being topless. The character went topless long before the vampress from Draculon (refuse to recognize as Drakulon with a "k"). Those so inclined may view Vampirella sans top in Vampirella #100. .
