Tomb of Dracula #19

Few covers from 1974 deliver a jolt quite like this one: a determined blonde woman looms over a startled, coffin-bound Dracula, wooden stake raised high and ready to strike, while the cover copy taunts him — "you've awakened too late!" Gil Kane's pencils and Tom Palmer's inks pack every inch with raw tension, from the Lord of Vampires' wide-eyed alarm to the fierce resolve on his would-be slayer's face. Titled "Snowbound in Hell!", this April 1974 Marvel issue promises a story as gripping as its cover, with Marv Wolfman writing and Gene Colan on interior art.
