“The Fear Within!”
Days have passed since the vampire Dracula was awakened from his grave. The monster’s only living descendant, Frank Drake, was given the family castle in his father’s last will and testament. When he arrived in Transylvania a month later to assess the property, Frank’s friend and business partner, Clifton Graves, disturbed the vampire’s coffin, thus releasing the curse upon the world.
Frank fought bravely against the lord of the undead, but his girlfriend Jennie Ovington was taken by Dracula. Clifton Graves was also killed during the fight through the castle halls. Or, so Frank was made to believe.
Tuesday – 8pm, the night air surrounding the castle was unusually cold this time of year. Frank has just returned to his ancestral home in search of clues. This time Frank came more prepared. He hired some local muscle to assist him in exploring the ancient rooms and parapets. Jennie Ovington must be rescued from the clutches of Dracula. What Frank needed now was a bargaining chip. It’s time to steal the one thing a vampire can’t live without. Frank must get Dracula’s coffin!
Will Count Dracula follow Frank Drake back to the foggy streets of London proper? Can Century 21 help sell a cursed castle and its surrounding lands? What’s the realtor commission anyways? Collect the series to find out!
Reviewer Notes
The action continues as Frank Drake and Clifton Graves make their way to London, England. The writers hold strong to the vampire mythology cemented by pop culture film makers of the time such as Hammer Films and Universal Pictures. Your grandad’s Dracula was a bit more flawed compared to the modern Marvel version.
The writing in this book is very well done. People used to get value and content for their 20 cents. I would recommend these earlier books to anyone who is into horror comics. I’m giving Tomb of Dracula No.2 five out of five stars. Now go sharpen some wooden steaks!
