(Reading my personal single issues, so an automatic star for the musty smell and ultra-faded coloring, which enhances Colan's art, in a way.)... lotsa dialogue but the characters are interesting enough.
Aunque con unos principios algo confusos de cuál era la dirección a seguir una vez que se estabiliza el equipo creativo de Wolfman, Colan y Palmer crearon todo un clásico de los cómics de terror.Para mi este cómic tiene 2 grandes virtudes:- El dibujo de Gene Colan: prácticamente cada pagina es una delicia visual y su tratamiento de Dracula es mítico. Igual que Romita definió la imagen que todos tenemos de Spider-man así definió Colan la de Dracula.- Sus personajes: la fidelidad de cada personaje...
The Tomb of Dracula Volume 1 by Gerry Conway is a fun little read.
From the congressional hearings that led to censorship of comic books to the early 1970s, vampires were pretty much verboten in the form. That seems incredible now, where you can't turn around without finding vampires on TV or movies or bookshelves. But Marvel Comics started using vampires, when the Comics Code Authority began relaxing their stance, one of their successes was a series called The Tomb of Dracula, which began in 1972 and ran for 70 issues. The first twelve issues are contained in
Great stuff! Gene Colon's horror art is incredible. Stories are ok but Marv Wolfman, who I met, starts writing later on and things really get good.
Cómic entretenido pero sin más
Coyer Summer BashCoyer Scavanger Hunt. Any Type of HorrorMarvel comics was the place to be in the 70’s if you loved monster stories. This volume collects all the tomb of Dracula stories. A very nice collection
The first few issues in this collection were really solid: nice stories by Gerry Conway and Gene Colan's art (as usual) is top notch (although he still has a couple of years from hitting his pinnacle). However, the collection suffers from rotating writers (Archie Goodwin's stories are fine, Gardner F. Fox's stories are abysmal) and the inkers they have destroy Colan’s pencil work. I hope the series gets better from here, although I didn't love Wolfman's writing. I may look at future volumes, but...
This rare find of a first volume collects issues #1-#12, depicting how Dracula was resurrected in the modern age. But since these stories were first released in 1972-73, the pacing of the story and the way the characters are developed or attempted to be developed were certainly a product of its time.While the concept of the Vampire is rich and likewise eternal, ranging from from Bram Stoker himself to Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles and most recently Stephanie Meyer's Twilight and the Vampire Dia...
One of the best Horror Comic Book series of all time!
When it came to Horror comics nothing topped Marvel's Tomb of Dracula in the 70s.Gene Colan's art fit perfectly for the horror genre and with the addition of Marv Wolfman doing most of the writing chores really brought this title up to another level.I totally forgot how good this comic was and I'm glad they put it out in a trade paperback to enjoy once again.
I read somewhere that this was one of the best horror comics ever done. There must be a pretty low bar if that's the case.
The Tomb of Dracula wasn't just a horror comic but also represented a significant break from the previous censorship of vampires in comics. It seems almost inconceivable they would be banned considering presenting vampires dominate the pop culture landscape and Scott Snyder is allowed to write American Vampire.The first twelve issues of this series are included here in all their glory and camp. If you enjoy 70's comics or Dracula, this is worth your time.
Nowadays it is hard to imagine any form of entertainment that does not have vampires in it, but from its inception in 1954 until 1971, the Comics Code Authority did not allow comic books with its seal to feature these creatures. With the institution of relaxed guidelines on the matter, Marvel Comics gave the count his own series, the first dozen issues of which are here reproduced. This comic came along after my youthful days of collecting had ended, so this was my first encounter with this titl...
Old school horror comic book of the kind I read as a wain.
I love the concept of these comics more than the actual books themselves. The early issues are simply painful, and while Marv Wolfman's arrival as writer helps a little, it's way too little, too late for this collection.
In my early teens, this comic was a favorite, so it was nice to revisit it 40 years later. Let's just say they don't make them like this anymore. The writing is overwrought and bombastic, the plot sometimes wacky, and the art mostly by Gene Colon has plenty of energy and seventies verve. This all combines for a fast-paced and highly entertaining if relatively bloodless read. Modern readers might find this hokey as hell, but so what?
