I Am Demona. NOT Vampirella!

Sol Brodsky ditched Marvel at the dawn of the Bronze Age to ally himself with Israel Waldman, former head of I.W. Publications which reprinted defunct comics in the Silver Age under the label of Super Comics. The two of them founded Skywald Publications with a trio of horror magazines which they labeled the Horror-Mood similar to Warren's 60's anthologies. One of their comics was titled Psycho, having nothing to do with the Hitchcock movie, even though it attempted to shove out their own horror heroine in Issue #9, the dynamic Demona, created by Gardner Fox who also made the magical superheroine Zatanna. This sexy siren was the product of Elvira, a space witch who came from planet Elfwhon where magic is common, which coincidently was also the name of a horror hostess who came out around the same time. This alien woman mated with a man in the Canadian wilderness to produce the half-human Desdemona who shortened her name to Demona. Now an adult, Demona sets herself up as a fighter of the forces of what she calls necromantic evil and hangs at her creepy mansion waiting for the occasional twinge of darkness when she calls upon the astral planes to help in her crusade. One of these malcontents is the nasty Prince Yamn, even though they later refer to him as Yamm, making him sound more like a possessed vegetable. Demona's boyfriend Jim Croft informs her that Yamm is an evil god trying to gain access to the living world, so our heroine sets off to stop this resurrection by battling an army of skeleton warriors. The magical girl makes it to Yamm's temple where he is being reborn from a statue that she smashes into a chasm from summoning up a quetzalcoatl. Demona claims that there are other evils threatening the planet which her gods of Elfwhon will help her defend, even though our Vampirella rip-off wouldn't appear again as 70's comics fans weren't all that jazzed about a space sorceress who kicked demonic butt.
