Black and White Wednesday: "Satana" by Thomas and Romita and "Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Satana*" (*But Were Too Awestruck to Ask) by C. Conway

Greetings, Groove-ophiles! Hey, it's almost Halloween! The Devil you say? Nay, the Devil's Daughter I say! Satana, the Devil's Daughter, to be exact! Created by Roy Thomas and John Romita, Satana made here debut in Vampire Tales #2 (July 1973). Vampire Tales? Why, she was a succubus, ya know--and a soul-eater is even creepier than a blood-sucker if ya ask moi!

Now, Ol' Groove could write a big ol' post about the creation of Satana, but Marvel already did that way back in Vampire Tales #3 (September 1973). So, to satisfy your curiosity, here's Carla Conway's article, "Everything You Always Wanted to Know about Satana* (*But Were Too Awestruck to Ask)"!
