Tomb of Dracula #63

This March 1978 issue of Marvel's long-running horror series delivers one of its most arresting covers: Dracula, Lord of Vampires, lies defeated and sprawled in his blue cape at the feet of the white-clad, gold-belted Janus, who raises a triumphant fist before a crowd-filled arena while a massive red serpent writhes nearby and a horrified blonde woman recoils in the background. The bold cover blurb — "Dracula has lost… and Janus stands triumphant!" — promises a serious shakeup to the vampire lord's reign of terror. Gene Colan and Tom Palmer bring their signature dynamic energy to the composition, making "The Road to Hell!" feel like a genuinely high-stakes chapter in Marv Wolfman's celebrated run.
