Description15" x 10" image area. Ink and graphite on Bristol board. Tomb of Dracula #52 Page 31 original art (Marvel 1977). Gene Colan and Tom Palmer.Incredible finale page where Dracula meets a golden man who Dracula initially believes is a demon. The golden being tells Dracula that his mission to stop Dracula will take longer than his previous encounters, and as a show of power reveals his eyes. They illuminate a powerful light that sends Dracula reeling backwards. The golden one tells Dracula that his masters have decreed that the vampire must be destroyed. Assuming that the being was sent by Satan, Dracula accepts the challenge, boasting over how he believes that Satan has always been afraid of him. As Dracula continues to battle this golden being, he realizes that it will take more than just strength to defeat his attacker. While the golden one is distracted, Dracula manages to sneak up being him and impale him in the back with a piece of metal. As the golden man begins to die, he corrects Dracula's assertion that he is a demon from Hell, telling the vampire lord that he works for a higher power than that. Dracula begins to realize who just as the soul of the dead man rises from his body and flies off. Dracula chases after it and finds that it is leading him back to the church he has taken over. Arriving there, he finds nobody but Domini within. Dracula notices that the eyes on the oil painting of Jesus Christ are glowing with the same light that came from his attackers eyes, and screams in frustration. Dracula knows who is the ultimate boss. Social/Sharing |

Colan and Palmer created an atmosphere with their art that elevated this series above much of what was being published at the time. This page is a wonderful example of their legendary work.

This page has a lot of classic tropes one would want in a Colan & Palmer ToD page. Cheers!

Man, what a capper of a page! Awesome storytelling top to bottom, and that last panel and caption definitely want to make you see what's coming next issue! Congrats, ND!

Stunning Tomb of Dracula page by the incredible Gene Colan! Sadly, Colan never receives the attention he deserves today, but he was one of the greatest comic book artists ever. His work on TOD, Doctor Strange and Daredevil is some of the greatest work in the comic book medium. This page is a great example of his immense talent. Every panel is beautifully composed and elegantly drawn. Enhanced by the fabulous inks of Tom Palmer, this page is a master work of comic art.
