Item Description

MARVEL's biggest hit of Spring 1972, and the start of an enduring fan-favorite run, was TOMB OF DRACULA . Issue #8 arrived in May of 1973 with a cover pencilled by 'TOMB's regular artist GENE COLAN, and inked by first-timer (with Colan) ERNIE CHUA - the same team that provides the exciting artwork inside!

The continuing story of TOMB OF DRACULA centers around FRANK DRAKE, a distant descendant of COUNT DRACULA, and heir to his castle in Transylvania. He heads a troop of Vampire Hunters on the trail of the long-dead DRACULA.

Here in issue #9, in MARV WOLFMAN's tale "Death From The Sea!", a fishermasn in the British village of Littlepool is surprised to pull an unconscious DRACULA from the water, and thinking he is likely a man who accidentally drowned, takes him to the village church. Father William tries to revive the soaked man, but DRACULA awakes on his own and is horrified to find he is in a church!

He takes refuge with a kindly young man and his mother but needs to feast on blood, so attacks two people in the village and turns them into vampires. Father William alerts the police to DRACULA's true nature, but he escapes as a bat after thanking David and his mother for their kindness in harboring him.

Dramatic cover by Gil Kane, and terrific interior art by Gene Colan, as always!

This is a wonderfully well-preserved copy of TOMB of DRACULA #9 - with a strong binding, nice cover gloss, pages free of toning, and no tears, creases or pieces missing.

We're conservatively calling it an 8.0 VF for this 53-year-old comic! The Overstreet Price Guide tags this classic for this grade at $38 . . . but you can make it yours for just $25.
