Steve Ditko is the surprise artist in this second issue of the magazine-size TOMB OF DRACULA. Not sure if his art fits the character, but it is interesting to see his distinct style for this comic. In this story, the human/incubus Dimensional Man is introduced. He drains the life from villains, but not the same as Dracula, who has more sanguine tastes. He appeared again later in SGT. FURY AND HIS HOWLING COMMANDOS and LEGION OF MONSTERS. A strange character, indeed.

Included in this issue are text articles on the Frank Langella version of DRACULA and Werner Herzog's NOSFERATU THE VAMPYRE. Closing out the issue is the story, "Court of the Dead" by Marv Wolfman and illustrated by Frank Robbins, John Romita and John Tartaglione.
