Retro Comics: Dracula Lives #1 1974

MARVEL UK's DRACULA LIVES - A COMIC WITH BITE.

I was always a huge fan of horror comics growing up and this one is probably my favourite of the many I collected during the 1970's. Marvel UK A4 comics back then used to feature two or three different characters in the same comic which made them much more interesting to read than their USA A5 counterparts. Werewolf by Night, Ghost Rider and Man-Thing were also serialised during its print run which lasted 87 issues where it merged with another Marvel publication (POTApes). 

An interesting point about Dracula Lives #1 is that it came out on the same day as the totally excellent Planet of the Apes #1 comic as a Marvel double premiere.
