Tomb of Dracula #9, June 1972
Our third annual Halloween tribute continues now through October 31.
Dracula transforms into a bat and transforms back again in this cool page from the master of moodiness Gene Colan.
I’ve written about Colan’s Tomb of Dracula work with Tom Palmer previously; this issue precedes Palmer’s permanent partnership with Gene on the title, and is instead inked by Vince Colletta. (No I am not going to knock Vince’s work here. That’s what comics’ social media is for. Talk about beating a dead horse…)
So… a vampire transformation page? Cool, I will take it.
Fun fact: All the art panels on the page are pasted onto the art board that leads me to believe the story was revamped (pun intended) at some point.
