Giant-Size Dracula #5 - John Byrne art
Giant-Size Dracula #5, 1975 - Like many giant-size annuals of the 1970s, this series comprised of some new material and old Atlas horror reprints from the decade before. In addition to the main Dracula feature is John Byrne's very first effort for Marvel: a stand-alone story about a man trapped within his own nightmare. The opening splash depicting an attack of a demonic hound is arresting, as are several experimental page designs that follow. Still, Rudy Nebres' heavy-handed inking suppresses most of Byrne's pencils beyond recognition. Other artists in this issue include Virgilo Redondo, Dan Adkins and Gil Kane/Tom Palmer (cover). This is number 1 of 1 Giant-Size Dracula issues with Byrne art and/or covers. See today's posts or more Byrne or Tomb of Dracula issues.

Very nice Gil Kane/Tom Palmer cover. It's too bad Marvel was caption/word baloon crazy at the time. This cover needs no copy.

I completely agree.
