Tomb of Dracula v2 #2 - Steve Ditko art

Tomb of Dracula v2 #2

Tomb of Dracula v2 #2, 1979 - This black and white magazine series accompanied the popular bronze age comic of the same name. Steve Ditko is tasked with drawing the feature story, one of his lengthiest during the bronze age. In the opening scene, Dracula is surrounded by an unknown mystical force reminiscent of the artist's early Strange Tales issues. From the onset, it seems evident that Ditko's eclectic style is inappropriate for the character. Dracula appears often corny and cartoonish rather than fearsome. Throughout the thirty-plus pages, the pacing is long and arduous, containing only a single splash to break up the monotony. While the artwork is disappointing, I admit it's still interesting to see Ditko's interpretation. Other artists in this bronze age magazine include Gene Colan, Frank Robbins and John Tartaglione. This is 1 of 1 Tomb of Dracula v2 issues by Ditko.
