Dracula (comics)
Encyclopedia : D : DR : DRA : Dracula (comics)
Dracula was a short-lived attempt by Dell Comics to published super-hero titles based on the Universal Pictures monsters. The other two where Frankenstein and Werewolf.
Dracula lasted 3 issues from 1966 through 1967, numbered 2 through 4. (#1 was an earlier movie adaption comic). Art was by Tony Tallarico. In 1972-73, Dell would reprint the series, numbering them #6-8. (why no issue #5 is unknown).
Dracula is a current descendant of the original Count Dracula, who is now a medical researcher living in the old Dracula castle. Due to his experiments, he gains certain bat-like powers (like being able to turn into a bat, etc.). He then embarks on a superhero career, making a costume and leaving for America (since the local peasants have burned down his castle). In issue #4, his lab assistant accidentally gained the same powers, and became his sidekick, Fleeta.
