Draculass
- Daughter of Dracula
This
bloodthirsty little minx used to get up to all sorts of
toothsome trouble. As the title tells us, she was in fact
a vampire child who came to stay with little Maisie and
her Mum and Dad for an extended period and consequently
wrought havoc upon the neighbourhood, feasting upon
every exposed neck she could find...
S'funny but Draculass' bloody ways appeared merely to
irritate
Maisie and her family, rather than scare the bejeezus
out of 'em.
If your house guest opted to sleep in a coffin you'd at least
show some concern, right? And then when she sank her
teeth into your neighbours, friends and family you'd get
just
a tiny bit freaked, wouldn't you?
Well, wouldn't you?
Draculass was a simple strip concept, artfully drawn
by Terry
Bave. The gal had a look of real relish in her eyes. She
was
frequently presented in glorious colour on the comic's back
page. Oh, and Trivia Hounds may like to note, Draculass
didn't
actually reveal that she could fly until issue # 14...
Similarly, Trivia Hounds may also be interested to know
that she
guested in the Whoopee! Book of Frankie Stein in 1977. At
the
end of her strip, she's chased out of frame by a huge
mechanical
guard dog specially invented by mad Professor
Cube!
