![]() Rating: - Who Mourns For Dracula?Without question, this volume contains the very heart of the series, which to my mind, represents Marvel Comics at her best: with strong characters, beautiful artwork and the guts to take chances! Writer Marv Wolfman had been on the series for about a year and was comfortable with putting the characters through their paces-- and in this volume, they were put through a meat grinder!

Unfortunately, they couldn't keep up with the work load and the giant-size issues were handled by others and weren't quite as good. Rating: - The Dr. Sun storyline comes to a head in "Tomb of Dracula"The horror comic book died a horrible death when E.C.'s celebrated lineup of "Tales from the Crypt, "The Vault of Horror," and "The Haunt of Fear" fell victim to the creation of the Comics Code of America, a censoring board created in 1955 in response to Dr. Fredric Wertham's book "Seduction of the Innocent" and the resulting public outcry against horror and crime comics.
