Reading Room: EERIE Dracula Part 1

Did you know that Classics Illustrated did Frankenstein, but not Dracula?
Click on the art to enlarge and read
However, there was an adaptation of the original Bram Stoker novel, published several years after the Classic Comics version of Mary Shelley's tale in the mid-1940s (which we're currently running in Hero & Heroine Histories™)!
It appeared in Avon Comics' Eerie #12 (1953), and was the only book-length story to appear in the title!
To the best of our knowledge, the story has never been reprinted, probably due to it's length.
What shall Johnathan Harker do?
Join us tomorrow for the frightening answer!

Design of the Week--PussyCat Agent of S.C.O.R.E.

Each week, we post a limited-edition design, to be sold for exactly 7 days, then replaced with another!
This week...if Austin Powers had a sister, she'd be PussyCat: Agent of S.C.O.R.E. whose adventures we've presented HERE and HERE!
Written by Stan Lee & Larry Lieber and illustrated by a who's-who of good girl artists including Wally Wood, Jim Mooney, Bill Ward, and Bill Everett, the 1960s she-spy appeared in mens' magazines published by Marvel Comics' then-publisher Martin Goodman as well as a one-shot b/w magazine that reprinted those earlier appearances.
In fact, it's the one-shot's painted cover by Bill Everett that we use on our line of kool kollectibles available for one week only!

Tomorrow: 
a return to Halloween Horror with the first
Dracula comic story!

Unlike many other horror stories (like "Supreme Penalty" and "Invasion"), when this one was reprinted in Black Cat #52 (two years later), nothing was altered!
