Jacula was the eponymous vampire in an Italian fumetti comic book that was also published in France as an adult bande dessinée. In common with Zora and Sukia, the fumetti series contained sexual imagery: together with her vampire husband Carlo Verdier, the predatory Jacula seduced the unwary and corrupted the innocent. She was also married to a human called Torlin Novak, and the relationship resulted in a child whose soul was promptly pledged to Satan.
A total of 327 issues were produced between 1969 and 1982.
Other Italian figures from the same era, and with similarly violent or erotic preoccupations, include Zora la Vampira, Lucifera, Biancaneve, Vartan, Jolanda de Almaviva, Sukia, and Yra.
