During the 1970's Marvel had a hot commodity with their "Marvel Monster Group" series of titles. Most were a combination of text articles and illustrated stories, much like this 1973 entry, VAMPIRE TALES.
Chris Claremont offers an analysis in five parts on Montague Summers legendary tome, "The Vampire: His Kith and Kin", and forever fanboy, Mark Evanier shares what he considers to be the worst vampire movies of all time.
For illustrated fare, Morbius the Living Vampire gets a recounting of his origin story, and Ron Goulart adapts Dr. John Polidori's famous tale, "The Vampyre".
