The
only Atlas-Seaboard B&W magazine with a regularly featured character,
Devilina is sort of a cross between Vampirella and Marvel's Santana.
The
sister of Satan, Devilina is transported through time, along with her
mother, from the Biblical "time of the casting out" to modern
day New England. There, under the watchful eye of her mother, the infant
Devilina grows to womanhood in a mansion guarding "the secret
entrance to Hell.
Shortly
after arriving at college, Devilina is contacted by Satan, who invites
her to join him in ruling Hell. She refuses and is allowed to return
home.
Years
pass and Devilina pushes family concerns out of her mind as she pursues
her studies. After her date to the graduation ball is killed in a fire
triggered by Satan, she vows a war of vengeance on her brother.
The
rest of the book is an anthology of horror stories featuring women
in the lead roles, including a tale of the reanimated mummy of Queen
Nefertiri. |
