In truth, the strangest thing about this Warren 'zine is the numbering. Indicated as #6, it is actually the 4th in the "Warren Presents" series out of a total of eight.

Screwy numbering aside, "Strange Stories of Vampires" is a typical all-reprint issue right down to the cropped Sanjulian cover image from EERIE #46 (March 1973), with selected tales from EERIE, CREEPY and VAMPIRELLA (see listing below). Standouts are the artwork of Neal Adams, John Severin and Angelo Torres.
