Tomb of Dracula #22

Among Marvel's horror titles of 1974, Tomb of Dracula #22 delivers one of its most electrically charged covers, with Dracula locked in a fierce supernatural duel against Gorna — Lord of the Living Lightning — amid a darkened graveyard bristling with tombstones and crackling energy. The cover, penciled by Rich Buckler and inked by Tom Palmer, places Dracula reeling beneath a blinding burst of power while a second, caped figure of Dracula looms ominously above the chaos. With Marv Wolfman writing and Gene Colan on interior art, this issue — "--In Death Do We Join!" — promises the kind of moody, atmospheric horror storytelling that made this series a standout of its era.
