Tomb of Dracula (1972) #44, pg.30

End page for the first part of the Dracula/Dr. Strange confrontation. Written by Marv Wolfman and Steve Englehart, two writers at the top of the game, with art by the fantastic team of Colan/Palmer.
So, what makes this page so special?

For starters, this story is the second to last story of Dr. Strange penned by Englehart, ending a great run of almost 20 issues of Dr. Strange stories.

But this is also this is the culmination of the first battle between Dracula and Dr. Strange and the full force of the eye of Agamotto, a battle of wills, with Dracula winning simply because he refuses to be beaten and finally bitting Dr. Strange;
This page's last panel is also what would be Dr. Strange's #14 cover and what would be the splash of that issue, with both the faces of Dracula and Dr. Strange looking almost the same as this panel, right down to the lighting and shading effects :)


And did i mention this is one of my best remembered stories from my childhood??
