Dracula le Vampire #5
In "La gloire finale de Deacon Frost," an archaeologist’s discovery of an ancient pyramid unleashes a long-buried alien entity—only to find the mummy’s own preservation was a desperate act of self-defense, undone by the very atmosphere it fled. Written by Stan Lee and Larry Lieber, with dynamic art by Jack Kirby and inks by Dick Ayers, this 1981 tale blends pulp adventure with cosmic dread. The cover, by Gene Colan and Tom Palmer, captures the moment of revelation with eerie precision.
