House of Mystery #290
In "I... Vampire!", writer J. M. DeMatteis and artist Tom Sutton craft a chilling tale of cursed legacy, as Andrew Bennett recounts the haunting transformation of his beloved Mary into Mary, Queen of Blood. With haunting visuals by Sutton and atmospheric coloring by Adrienne Roy, the story unfolds as Andrew, alongside present-day allies Deborah Dancer and Dmitri Mishkin, faces the relentless Cult of the Blood Red Moon. The cover by Joe Kubert captures the gothic dread of the tale, a 50-cent gem from 1981 that remains a standout in DC’s eerie anthology series.
