Episode 20 -Vampirella #1 (Warren, 1969)
Using her secret key card, the Darling of Drakulon visits Bob in The
Vault (considering she's a fictional comic book character, social
distancing is not an issue) when he cracks open a legendary first issue
from Warren. Vampi's origin story is featured while Cameron Mitchell,
Roger Daltrey, Molly Hatchet and Kiss enter the discussion. It's a full
house in The Vault for this episode, stop by and check it out!
POE: That's "Drakulon" with a "K"!
Wait! There's more! You be the judge...
Talisa Soto, or....
Barbara Leigh?

In this special Double Play Baseball/Halloween episode, Bob visits The
Great American Pastime when he cracks open a horror anthology title from

do you stand?
