Dracula the SuperHero "Sky Fleet"

...travelling by ship from Europe to America, the incognito hero discovers a fleet of mysterious airships also heading for the USA...
Is Dracula's superhero career over before it's begun?
Will Admiral Maltemps freeze/drown the USA and Canada into submission?
For the answers to these and other questions...
Tune in tomorrow...
Same Bat-Time!
Same Bat-Blog!
Written by Don Segal and illustrated by Bill Fraccio and Tony Tallarico, Dell's Dracula #3 (1967) finally gets our hero into costume, into super-heroic action, and into his first cliffhanger-style death-trap.

Dracula the SuperHero "Meets the Master of the Sky"

As neophyte superhero Dracula makes his way to America...
...he encounters not only the first of many threats, but somone destined to play a major part in his future!
But first, let's recap his origin...
Tomorrow:
Written by Don Segal and illustrated by Bill Fraccio and Tony Tallarico, Dell's Dracula #3 (1967) will not only finally show costumed kick-butt action, but introduces the person who will shortly become his sidekick.
(A "Bat-Man" without a sidekick? Inconceivable!)
Can you guess who, of the people we saw in this chapter, it is?

Dracula the SuperHero "Dracula's Pledge"

After inadvertantly ingesting a serum derived from bats that gave him extraordinary abilities, scientist Dracula (first name unknown) uses those talents to defeat a nuclear terrorist using his family's castle as a base of operations.
Writer Don Segall and artists Bill Fraccio and Tony Tallarico took a somewhat more serious approach to this origin from Dell's Dracula #2 (1966) as opposed to their work on the Frankenstein SuperHero, which was "campy" from the beginning.
Keep in mind I said "somewhat", and that the tone began to radically-shift to camp as of the next issue!
Dracula will return shortly, but next up is the super-spy based on The WolfMan...also by the same creative team of Segall, Fraccio and Tallarico!
