Vampirella #6 (2017) page 5: Chat with a cat

As part of an extended dream sequence involving her male counterpart Vampirello, Vampi explores a gothic castle (if that’s not redundant) in the company of an anthropomorphized version of her cat Grit. They study a map of the castle, which happens to be shaped like a skull.

I got this page mainly on the strength of the top panel, for which Belanger went all-out, rendering the opulent interior with a fine line. Check out the inlaid floors, the statuary, and the decorated arches. Vampi eschews her usual slink suit for a classy ball gown and platform heels. Belanger was thinking of the elegance of Audrey Hepburn for this design.
