Item Description

MARVEL's biggest hit of Spring 1972, and the start of an enduring fan-favorite run, was TOMB OF DRACULA . Issue #3 arrived in July of that year with a cover by Gil Kane and 36 pages of Gene Colan's amazingly distinctive artistry! Written by Archie Goodwin, it follows the series outline developed by Roy Thomas . . . which was the perfect modern-day template for the revival of the classic horror story of ‘DRACULA'.

The story centers around FRANK DRAKE, a distant descendant of COUNT DRACULA, and heir to his castle in Transylvania. He travels there with his girlfriend JEANIE, only to find the castle in near ruins. The long-dead DRACULA, is accidentally revived and proceeds to terrorize FRANK & JEANIE in both human and bat forms, and ultimately killing JEANIE!

Here in issue #3, in "Who Stalks The Vampire?", DRAKE is about to commit suicide in his grief over losing JEANIE, when he is stopped by RACHEL VAN HELSING, the great-granddaughter of Abraham Van Helsing, who first 'killed' DRACULA, and her assistant, TAJ NATAL.

Together, the threesome battle to contain the Prince of Darkness!

This is a well-preserved copy of TOMB of DRACULA #3 - with a strong binding, pages free of toning, and no tears, creases or pieces missing. There is a nearly unnoticeable crease diagonally near the upper right corner of the cover.

We're conservatively calling it a 7.5 VF- for a 52-year-old comic! The Overstreet Price Guide tags this classic for this grade at $39 . . . but you can make it yours for just $29.

And you can 'COUNT' on our L•O•W shipping to make this deal irresistible!

We'll STAKE our reputation on it!
