Description

As I previously related in a CAF description for another of these pages, I am very fond of the denouement sequence from Wolfman/Colan/Palmer's Tomb Of Dracula series. It's an example of peak comics, with a long running creative team working together to conclude a 70-issue epic in a satisfying and emotionally resonant epilogue to the main story of destroying Dracula. It's the story of the vampire hunters that really elevates Tomb Of Dracula to a classic series.

The coda section of Tomb Of Dracula #70 features three sequences, each an example of exceptionally well crafted comics.

The epilogue with Rachel van Helsing and Frank Drake is six pages. I have the first five and am seeking the last one. It is story page 28 (and page 37 as printed in the comic).

Following is a three page sequence featuring Domini, the bride of Dracula and their son Janus, who was possessed by a being called the Golden Angel. I "need" the first and third of these pages.

There are pages on either side of this nine page segment that are equally wonderful. Quincy Harker confronting Dracula in his castle is an amazing scene, as well. The whole book and series is pretty damn good! Note that writer/editor Marv Wolfman asked that Rachel's single tear in panel two be whited-out, to reflect her inability to connect with her emotions upon discovering the death of her surrogate father, Quincy Harker. The whole sequence is eloquently and poignantly portrayed by three creators working at a high level of craft.

Thanks, Tom!

I've included a little grid in additional images that illustrates my progress on this particular mini-quest.

Gene's Eerie, Distorted style worked perfectly on this, even better on Doctor Strange!
