![]() Marvel had already tested the waters with a "quasi-vampire" character, Morbius, the Living Vampire, but the company was now prepared to launch a regular vampire title as part of its new line of horror books. In 1971, the Comics Code Authority relaxed some of its longstanding rules regarding horror comics, such as a virtual ban on vampires. In addition to his supernatural battles in this series, Marvel's Dracula often served as a supervillain to other characters in the Marvel Universe, battling the likes of Blade the Vampire Slayer, Spider-Man, the Werewolf, the X-Men, Howard the Duck, and the licensed Robert E. On rare occasions, Dracula would work with these vampire hunters against a common threat or battle other supernatural threats on his own, but more often than not, he was the antagonist rather than protagonist. The 70-issue series featured a group of vampire hunters who fought Count Dracula and other supernatural menaces. ![]() The Tomb of Dracula is an American horror comic book series published by Marvel Comics from April 1972 to August 1979. ![]() ![]() Gerry Conway, Archie Goodwin, Gardner Fox, Marv Wolfman ![]()
