I need help identifying a comic book

[udo1]

this is my first post so bare with me, I need help identifying a comic book from the late seventies or early eighties. It was a female vampire comic, that I am pretty sure is NOT Vampirella. It was about this woman from the 1800s who marries a rich man who is a vampire, the look of the comic was like a Hammer film. At the begging she is in modern times and some kids stop by and she tells her tale. At the end her helper shoots the husband as he turns the woman into a vampire. If any one knows the comic book or character please let me know
thanks.

Well, you've come to the right place. Me? Nope....I don't have a clue....but some of these guys are amazing. They can pic a 2 inch by 2 inch square off a cover from the entire history of comic books and nail the book, title and number in no time at all. :D

Color comic or a b/w magazine? There was a Seaboard magazine called Devilina in 1975 or so. Two issues, I think.

Marvel's Vampire Tales was a magazine that featured a female vampire named Satana (Son of Satan's sister, I think).

I think it was a color comic and I have an issue of Devilina and I don't think it was Devilina and some of Marvel's vampire Tales and it is not Satana.
thanks for the help :D

Also "seventies" doesn't have to mean "originally printed in the seventies."

Could be a reprint of older material. (I'd say that's decently likely, given the subject matter.)

It sounds to me like it's probably "I, Vampire", which ran in DC's comic book "House of Mystery" starting in the early 80s. It had a Hammer look to it, spanning time from the late 1500's to the present, and the lead character (Andrew Bennett) was opposed by his wife Mary Seward, whom he had turned into a vampire like himself. Mary was a recurring and prominent character, so that might explain your remembering this as being a "female vampire comic" even though the lead character was actually a man.
It sounds like this might have been the first installment (House of Mystery #290), which I have not read.
Does this look familiar?

I've emailed with Mike, and he's on a CBReak. No problems at all with the gang here - just spending his computer time on Facebook.

In terms of the original question - the only other female vampire that comes to mind is Countess Von Bludd from Scary Tales. I can't remember her origin story from #1 - but this could be what you're thinking about.

I think the Lone Ranger nailed this one. Looking over what I can find about the Countess on the internet, it sounds like a much better match than "I, Vampire." Scary Tales #1 features the Countess telling some kids (in the present day) about her origin (in the 1500s), and the story concludes when her husband is killed after turning her into a vampire.
See the cover and read 3 sample pages here. (http://milehighcomics.com/cgi-bin/backissue.cgi?action=fullsize&issue=72106225522%201%20MODERN)

I never even met her!

I actually blogged about this one back in Dec, 2006 - so you'd think I'd remember the story.

I didn't get into too many details back then, though - but it seems to me like this would be the book.

Ah, who ya fooling. I think you and her had some kind of rendezvous in the 2006 time frame. She enchanted you to write a column (http://seductionoftheindifferent.blogspot.com/2006/12/charlton-notebook-august-1975.html) about her legs.
