DescriptionBeen a fan of Elvira since I was 12 or 13 years old when I discovered she existed one Halloween eve. As an Addams Family fan - to me, she has always been more about the humor and the schtick than about the sex-appeal (which I understand, but have never experienced).Tom Mandrake impressed me back in the day when he worked on The Spectre. Loved his lush inks and these are still on display here. Was delighted when Mandrake posted this cover for sale right here on CAF. He is as talented today as ever. Thanks as always for checking out my gallery! Social/Sharing |

I remember Tom's Spectre issues very well. Great cover here. While I understand that Elvira is supposed to be the focus, I really like the bottom portion of this cover best. I and really love those trees outside the window.

Sexy cover. Hell, if I'm being honest, at 70 years old, the real deal is still pretty hot also.

Sitting on my ass, just drifting away
Staring into the late night TV world, yeah
I watch Creature Features
She looks not creepy at all
I just see Elvira trying to catch some prey
A host with her smile
(Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo, doo-doo)
(Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo, doo-doo)
(Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo, doo-doo, doo-doo)
Her look's just wild
(Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo, doo-doo)
(Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo, doo-doo)
(Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo, doo-doo, doo-doo)
The clock that works says three
And Elvira's a treat
Free to scream, misbehave
Free to paint in inks Mandrake, hoo!
My goth, she's flame you know
And the puns she says
She's gonna put that new black mini, put a charge in my day

I really enjoyed Mandrake's work ever since he did that run on Batman in the mid 80's. Very organic and textural, in the Klaus Janson vein. This is very nice andyou're right, I can see she has some pretty sweet schtick!

We all know from Mandrake's DC work that he's great at horror, but this shows he has a fun side too. Awesome cover of the always charming Elvira.
