Marvel Spring Special #1 (October 1988) is the official comic book adaptation of
Elvira, Mistress of the Dark movie by Sid Jacobson with pencils by Ernie Colon and inked by Romeo Tanghal. The cover was done by Ernie Colon and Joe Jusko. The black and white magazine is forty-four pages so I will only be posting the first page to give you an idea of the artwork. This is a nice companion to the movie but several scenes are not in the magazine (especially my favorite where Elvira is being spied on). Only one black and white pinup of her is found inside while the back cover has a color pinup. The ads for
Stray Toasters and
Marvel Masterworks: The Avengers could have been dropped for more pinups of the Mistress of the Dark.

Back coverUnfortunately, no one has yet to make a comic book adaptation of her second movie,
Elvira's Haunted Hills, which is the better of the two in my opinion.

haunted hills is a good movie but I still have to go with the first film just based on my good memories of seeing it in the theater.
