Tomb of Dracula #26

Issue #26 of Marvel's long-running horror series delivers an atmosphere of dread straight from the rooftops of the night city. Gil Kane and Tom Palmer's cover sets the scene vividly: a terrified red-haired woman recoils in the foreground while Dracula himself — cape billowing, fangs bared — descends from above, with a second cloaked figure lurking ominously in the upper corner against a full moon. The cover's bold promise of a "soul-searing shock ending" and the tagline "A Vampire Stalks the Night!" make this November 1974 issue, featuring Marv Wolfman's writing and Gene Colan's interior art, a compelling entry in one of Marvel's most atmospheric ongoing series.
