Dracula the SuperHero "Secret Cave"

What's a "Bat-Man" without a Bat-Cave?

Luckily for the super-hero named "Dracula", the problem's about to be solved...

The final issue of Dell's Dracula begins with the hero finally getting a base of operations.
Writer DJ Arneson and artists Bill Fraccio and Tony Tallarico were probably hoping for a decent run of a year or two, but 'twas not to be.
Tomorrow, you'll see the Original "Bat-Man" get a costumed sidekick...

WereWolf the SuperHero "Who He Is and How He Came to Be"

The final tale of Dell's WereWolf #3 (1966) was a re-cap of the hero's origin and capabilities...

WereWolf may have been ready, but the Silver Age comics audience wasn't since this was his swan song.
Writer DJ Arneson and artists Bill Fraccio and Tony Tallarico produced three issues of three different monster-based hero series, and next week we conclude with the last of them...the final issue of Dracula, featuring his gaining a costumed sidekick as well as a cameo from one of the other monster heroes!

Be Here Monday!

Same Dracula Time!

WereWolf the SuperHero "Day the World Almost Ended"

If you thought, as I did, that the previous tale would've made a great low budget film or tv episode...

...then this one would've been a kool bottom half of a double feature!

All in all, a pretty kool tale with lots of action...including an atomic explosion (with amazingly-little radioactive fallout)
If this was a Marvel or DC Silver Age book, radiation would've affected Thor, turning him into  some sort of mutant, perhaps even an actual werewolf!
Unfortunately, the creative team didn't pursue that plotline in the book's final story, which we'll see tomorrow!

WereWolf the SuperHero "Claws of the Dragon"

When Last We Left Our Oddly-Named SuperHero/Spy...

Sent to rescue downed American General Fracas, WereWolf allows himself to be captured by the Communist Chinese in order to be put in the same prison as the general.
Once inside, he breaks out...

It's not often you see a superhero rake his opponents with machine-gun fire, eh?
(Remember, this was the Silver Age, when costumed characters rarely, if ever, killed anyone!)
Written by DJ Arneson and illustrated by Bill Fraccio and Tony Tallarico, this never-reprinted tale from Dell's WereWolf #3 (1967) was one of three tales that made one long narrative.
You'll see the second, complete part, tomorrow.

WereWolf the SuperHero "Jump to Danger"

Despite being the least monster-like of the Monster SuperHeroes...

...WereWolf actually had better plotting than the others, as well as a less-campy approach.

The James Bond-style action continues...
TOMORROW!
