Jacula (comics)

Jacula is the title character of an Italian eponymous erotic-horror fumetti series.

Jacula #273, "Beniamino Il Meccanico" ("Benjamin the Mechanic").

History

The character first appeared in a supporting role in the comic series Isabella.[1]

A total of 327 issues of Jacula were produced between 1969 and 1982.[1][2] Reissues of stories were published between 1973 and 1984 in the series Jacula Collezione.[2]

Plot

In common with Zora and Sukia, the series contained strong sexual imagery: together with her vampire husband Carlo Verdier, the predatory Jacula seduced the unwary and corrupted the innocent.[1] She was also married to a human called Torlin Novak, and the relationship resulted in a child whose soul was promptly pledged to Satan.[3]
