American Update: Tomb of Dracula Key Issues – #1 and #10 (1st Blade!)
*Horror/Mystery 1960-1980’s: One of the more spectacularly successful entries in Marvel’s 1970’s diversification was Tomb of Dracula, the meticulously-crafted horror series which had a villain – Bram Stoker’s classic vampire – as a series protagonist. We have two key issues of this highly-acclaimed series new in: #1, never distributed in the United Kingdom, in which the Lord of Darkness was introduced to the Marvel Universe, and #10, with the debut of a character who would go on to his own comic-book and cinematic successes – Blade, the Vampire Slayer! (No relation to Buffy of the same ilk.) The #1 is an affordable GD+ at £15, sound and complete, generally good appearance, with only a tiny cover chip from the lower right-hand corner precluding higher grade; the #10 is a VG+ p copy, decent with light to moderate spine creasing but very presentable interiors and an unimpaired cover scene, on sale at £50. SORRY, THESE HAVE NOW SOLD
