Shocktober 10/16/20




As previously noted, Tomb of Dracula was Marvel Comics' longest-running horror comic, clocking in at an impressive 70 issues. There were also a couple of black & white magazine versions as well: Dracula Lives and (again) Tomb of Dracula

The collection pictured above is the third in The Complete Collection, gathering together another 10 issues of Tomb, plus a few more issues of Dracula Lives. The color comics are the most cohesive, telling one continuing story with small stops in between. Dracula Lives was more of an anthology comic, with stories set at various times in Vlad's long, um, "career" and with art from various hands, though the color issues of Tomb all feature the moody, stylish art of Gene Colan and Tom Palmer.
