RARE HEIDI SAHA ITEM - CLOSED

[plady69]

Here's a rare item. This has the false photo of Heidi Saha in the nude. They drew a g-string on her. $50. OBO in the thread wins.

I love how they reworded Stairway from Heaven's lyrics in the back. BTW - if you didn't know who Heidi Saha is, she's the original model for Vampirella.

Hi JazzMan,

There's an excellent article about Heidi that several people have listed on their replies which gives more details about the Seidi Haha poem and subsequent reactions.

But I wanted to let you know that Heidi was not the original model for Vampirella.

Vampi first premiered in 1969 --when Heidi was 10 years old. Vampi was the creation of Fory Ackerman brought to "life" by Frank Frazetta and Trina Robbins who designed her costume with some input by James Warren --he suggested the boots, bangs and black hair.

 

About 2 years later, Jose Gonzales reinvented Vampi when he drew her in issue #12. Gonzales also drew the amazing 6 foot poster of Vampi which Perdita Boardman (wife of John Boardman) used to recreate Heidi's costume at the behest of Heidi's mother so that 14 year old Heidi could be presented as Vampi at the 1973 Comic Art Con in N.Y. Note: Heidi was not happy about this--she hated the way her mother, Tiami, strongarmed her way into getting what she, Taimi wanted.

 

I always thought it odd that Tiami talked Warren into producing the Heidi mag and mini poster in time for this convention and yet, both mag and poster featured Heidi in her Sheena of the Jungle costume with no Vampirella pics at all.

 

Just thought I'd add my info and keep things honest

 

Time permitting, I'll come back later with a few more true tales from that long ago and strange time....
