Letter from Leon Atkinson, USA

Website Editor's note: Leon was the first artist to contact me and send me some samples of his work. I was especially impressed with the haunting quality of his Vampirella, and the atmosphere of Vampi against the night sky in his pic below on the left is quite beautiful.

Vampirella is my muse.

The first time I saw her I was nine or ten. It was late at night, I had gotten up. There she was, at the end of a long dark hall. I only saw her for a moment, but I will never forget her long dark hair, glowing pale skin, the intensity of her eyes, my muse!

A few years later I saw her again. The same dark hair, the same pale skin, the same eyes! Only this time she's wearing a cool little red suit. It was the Vampirella model kit. Shortly thereafter I found out she had a comic book

With every new issue I would spend hours studying every line in every panel on every page. The great Jose Gonzales, Ramon Torrents, Enrich and others were my teachers. My ultimate goal is to be a Vampirella cover artist.
