This post begins: When I wrote about Alien Space Bats I was surprised how few there actually were. I thought the Pulps would be brimming with them. And I thought the same of comic books too. And found the same thing, not really all that many outside of Bat Man and Man-Bat at DC and Morbius and Dracula at Marvel. Collected here are a few examples of comics that used the offworld bat creature as well as later comics that thought it would be fun to have vampires in space. I wanted to put the blame on Colin Wilson and his highly popular novel, The Space Vampires (1976) but all but one of the comics appeared before the novel was published.

What about Vampirella?
You are right. She is an alien! (I’ve added her at the end.)
