Gene Colan - Tomb of Dracula #25, p. 1 (Marvel, 1974)

The splash page from one of my very favorite issues, from one of my very favorite series! Gene Colan's wonderfully moody art sets the stage for his and Marv Wolfman's telling of this crime noir-ish Dracula story which features the introduction of the P.I. Hannibal King, who plays a prominent role in the rest of this series (and ends up being played by Ryan Reynolds in the film Blade: Trinity). Clues are cleverly placed throughout the issue leading to the big reveal at the end that King is a vampire himself!

This piece is not for sale - in fact, I am actively seeking to acquire the cover to Tomb of Dracula #25 (any information on its whereabouts/availability would be greatly appreciated!)
