Tomb of Dracula #57

The Lord of Vampires swoops menacingly through an interior stairwell on this striking 1977 cover, his blue-and-red cape billowing as he bears down on an elderly man in a wheelchair below — who fires what appear to be rocket-propelled stakes right back at him. Dracula's chilling declaration, "Tonight, a lifetime of being hunted by you ends, Harker — with your death!", promises a confrontation that has been building for ages, while a second caption warns that an even greater threat called the Forever Man looms in the wings. Cover pencils by Gil Kane and inks by Tom Palmer make this showdown feel urgent and genuinely thrilling.
