Vampirella is a famous comic book character whose mother just happens to be Lilith. She was devised in the late sixties for Warren Publishing by Forrest Ackerman, Tim Sutton and costume designer Trina Robbins. In the 1990's she was rewritten as the daughter of Lilith and, possibly, her avatar. As a result, Vampirella made it her mission to rid the world of all vampires and redeem her mother. But Lilith, who fashioned her daughter in the bowels of Hell, had an ulterior motive.
In the Vampirella universe Lilith is known as The Conjuress. She is based primarily on the Garden of Eden Lilith with a heavy emphasis on her vampiric legends. In story she was banished from Paradise by God and birthed legions of demons as an act of spite. Apparently repentant, she created Vampirella as a counter agent. The anti-heroine's mission was to erase her mother's work by ridding the earth of every last vampire. Of course this was merely a ploy. Lilith had been killed by God and was using these murders to fuel her resurrection. Currently the character appears in Dynamite's Vampirella and Pantha titles.
