Super-special 100th issue! Special features! More story pages!
Elvira's passing the milestone of one hundred monthly issues at Claypool. Does
this issue also celebrate her passing from this life? Many, many guest stars
from Elvira's eventful history gather to observe "The Death of Elvira!" by Frank
Strom, Tod Smith, and Louis Lachance. It's not a hoax, not a dream, and has very
little to do with "Red Elvira-ite." Then, the Mistress of the Dark narrates the
origin of Bela her shape-changing pet; actually, several origins, each done in a
different art style, in "That Old Familiar Feeling," featuring art by Ronn
Sutton and Bruce Patterson, Amanda Conner and Bill Anderson (children's
storybook version), Richard Howell and Allen Milgrom (Simon & Kirby
romance-comic version), and Steve Leialoha (Walt Kelly-style version). Also, to
top off the fun, Elvira helps Spooky Suzie move into her new mansion — in
a neighborhood so quiet and cozy that it creeps Elvira out, in "Suburban Fear"
by Kurt Busiek with a super-special art job by the avatar of the "Archie"-style
of art, Mr. Josie himself... Dan DeCarlo! With a super-cool ink job by Terry
Austin.
