Tomb of Dracula #44

Marvel's self-proclaimed "Comicdom's Number 1 Fear Magazine" delivers one of its most electrifying covers with issue #44, as the Lord of Vampires clashes head-on with Doctor Strange in a burst of psychedelic, rainbow-streaked mystical energy. Gene Colan and Tom Palmer's cover art is a visual feast — Dracula recoils in anguish from a blazing mystical blast while Doctor Strange presses the attack, his crimson Cloak of Levitation sweeping dramatically behind him, and a serpentine demonic figure lurks nearby sword in hand. As if that weren't enough, the cover teases a Blade story promising "the most unexpected guest star of all," making this May 1976 issue a genuinely compelling package for fans of Marvel's horror corner.
