Based
on the popular "Elvira" character from TV and movies. Plays off a
lot of elements from the live-action movie, "Elvira: Mistress of the
Dark" (1988). Although done in black and white, this comic book
series is still fun to look at. Elvira, herself, is black and
white so it seems to translate well, visually. Besides that, the
artwork is just real slick and polished. Above all else, these
comics are FUNNY! What do you know? A comic book series
that's actually comical! There weren't too many of those in the
1990s. And this isn't even dirty funny. Just sexy
funny. I'd give this a PG rating at the strongest.
Another cool thing is that Cassandra Peterson (Elvira) had some association with the creators. She contributed cover photos, and sometimes story ideas. Elvira had a lot more involvement with her comic than most people in history who have had comic series based on them.
If you love the Elvira character, you'll love this comic book series. It's as simple as that. They didn't dummy the book up for geeks. Elvira wasn't made a superhero or anything else cliche. She's simply Elvira, having adventures like only Elvira can.

The first story is about Elvira being spun off as hostess of various TV
shows at her station. The second story is "Exeter Only: Part
1". In "Exeter Only", a wealthy old man named Exeter Phillips
gives Elvira a special necklace with an egg-shaped pendant.
Elvira doesn't know it, but the necklace is the key to Exeter's great
treasure, and the rest of his greedy family is willing to kill for
it! Exeter, himself, was put in the old folks home by his family
and is near death. Throughout this 6-part saga, Exeter's evil
family attempts to kill Elvira and steal the necklace. ALL of the
attempts backfire, and all of the family is sent to prison.
