Synopsis for "The Vampyre"
When a man enters a bar and, as a gag, offers a skeptic a contract for his soul for one million dollars the skeptic signs it. No one sees the stranger leave, but a coincidence leaves the signer one million dollars from a will. As time goes by, the contract worries away at him distorting his personality from likable to hostile. His employees hate him and his family leave him. One day he receives a visitor and it turns out to be the man with the contract looking for work. The skeptic is so angered that his life has been changed so dramatically by a practical joke that he seizes a heavy candlestick and kills the stranger. Now he feels that he has sold his soul to the Devil in actuality and walks out into the dark for Satan to claim him.

Vampire Tales #2 Debuts Satana, Taking Bids Up for Auction
Posted on August 15, 2022 by Jeremy Konrad|Comments
Vampire Tales is one of the coolest books out there. Super hard to come by in any kind of good shape, the 11-issue run is a fun one to put together, with the painted covers and gothic 70's vibe. All 11 issues ran in 1973, and of particular interest is issue #2, which within its pages contains the first appearance of Satana. That has made this the issue to own out of the run. This copy, a CGC 5.5 copy that displays really well, is taking bids today at Heritage Auctions, and as of this writing is sitting at only $36, a great chance to snag this one cheap. Check it out below.

Having traveled to Los Angeles, Satana happens upon a mob led on by politician Harry Gotham, attacking a Satanic cult called the Church of the Dark Father. Turning them away with mere words, Satana later feeds on another life, before meeting Ruth Cummins, a member of the cult. Satana spies a mark lefy by Satan on Ruth and hopes to use it as a means of opening a doorway to meet her father. However in trying to do so, she finds the doorway to hell blocked by the Four.
When assassins hired by Gotham break into Ruth's home, they manage to murder Ruth, but fall victim to Satana's succubi powers. She then tracks down Gotham to his office where she murders him as well.
