CGC certified: Good (2.0). Off-white to white pages. Cover: Gus Ricca. Stories and art: Gus Ricca, Hal Sharp, Mike Suchorsky, Jack Binder?, others. GPAnalysis: No reported sales in any grade since 2017. A 2.0 sold for $200 in 2015. Diamond Jim, the poor man's Green Lantern, wields a ring that makes him master of reality to fight giant vampire bats. A blonde vampiress, defeated by Jim, stoops to kiss his ring in subjugation, then swipes it from his finger and uses it to make him her slave. Gus Ricca's art in "Vampire Castle" recalls the psychotic visions of Fletcher Hanks; one panel even features a skull-faced blonde who's a "ringer" for Hanks's Fantomah character.
