Michael Golden - art and story

Matinee
A bunch of kids are spending an afternoon in a run down movie theatre having been given free tickets by a mysterious stranger.

The film is about a haunted theatre where vampire/demons prey on the people sitting in the dark watching the films. While the children watch the film Vampirella enters and destroys the real vampire/demons who are in the theatre about to re-enact what is on screen, and then tells the children to keep the noise down and eats their popcorn.

The story is quite clever - a story within a story within a story ... and a credit to Michael Golden

But, it is only eight pages long, and in black and white.

There are many pages of colour comic book action throughout this "Special", but it is all selections of pages from other comic books.

This comic sized magazine seems to be mainly a large advert for various other publications with a spare Vampirella story they had lying around chucked in to justify the name on the cover!

At least they have only issued four variant covers to collect.
