Curt Purcell of The Groovy Age of Horror (previously) on Vampirella and the art of José González, who modeled his version of the character after Sophia Loren (NSFW, mild boobies) (Previous Vampirella)

For me it's the little white formal collar that imbues Vampirella with just the right air of nobility. It makes us respect her, even given the trashiness of the rest of her, um, attire.

Are we sure Sophia Loren isn't eternal? Yes, I know she's airbrushed.

Sophia Loren never had mild boobies.

Reminded me of the repeated showing of Comics Britannia, a documentary series on the history of British comics, recently which mentioned in passing that the artists on the trendy girl's comics of the 60s and 70s were Spanish/South American... though admittedly Vampirella is a fair distance from Jackie
