On the art side, Gene Colan and Tom Palmer’s visuals were arguably the final word on Dracula. So what do they have in store for us? An absolute Marvel Masterworks! Quincy Harker and his vampire hunters thought they had put an end to the Lord of Vampires — but no! Dracula’s evil has survived…and has split our heroes apart. All the threads come together as Dracula enacts his revenge, but Dr. Sun may have different plans. Meanwhile, in the shadows lurks Deacon Frost! And Blade pursues the Legion of the Damned in his complete ’70s solo stories. Also featuring Dracula’s final Giant-Size issues — including John Byrne’s first Marvel story! Collecting TOMB OF DRACULA (1972) #31-40, GIANT-SIZE DRACULA #4-5, and material from VAMPIRE TALES (1973) #8-9, and MARVEL PREVIEW #3 and #8.An   award-winning writer since 1973, \u003cb\u003eMarv Wolfman\u003c\/b\u003e succeeded mentor Roy Thomas as Marvel’s editor in chief.   Well-remembered for his Tomb of Dracula scripts, he also enjoyed runs on Dr.   Strange, Fantastic Four and Nova,   among other titles. New Teen Titans, his 1980s collaboration with George Pérez, became DC Comics’   biggest hit in years. Wolfman and Pérez literally rewrote DC history with Crisis on Infinite Earths. He   subsequently penned episodes for such animated TV series as G.I. Joe, Transformers and others.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCurrently   a publisher, critic and literary agent, \u003cb\u003eDavid Anthony   Kraft\u003c\/b\u003e wrote for some of Marvel’s earlier steps   into the horror field, e.g. anthologies Creatures   on the Loose and Haunt   of Horror. His quirky and well-remembered Defenders run included both dramatic   and whimsical storylines, such as “Who Remembers Scorpio?” and “Defender for   a Day.” He wrote most of the Savage She-Hulk series and worked on licensed properties 2001: A Space Odyssey with Jack   Kirby and Logan’s Run   with George Pérez. His work further appeared in Captain   America; Thor; Marvel Two-in-One; Marvel Premiere; and two of Marvel’s black-and-white magazines, Deadly Hands of Kung Fu and Rampaging Hulk. He also edited   Marvel’s in-house fan magazine FOOM. Elsewhere in publishing, he has written children’s books   featuring Spider-Man, the Hulk and the Fantastic Four. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIndustry   legend \u003cb\u003eChris Claremont\u003c\/b\u003e is best   known for his epic sixteen-year run on Uncanny   X-Men. Claremont’s focus on the themes of   prejudice and tolerance struck at the hearts of comics fans, and he built an   unparalleled following during the next three decades. Under his pen, the   X-Men franchise spawned a vast array of spin-offs, many of them written by   Claremont himself. His other credits include Iron   Fist, Ms. Marvel, Power Man   and Spider-Woman.   Claremont has returned to the X-Men universe in New   Exiles, GeNext, X-Men Forever, Chaos War: X-Men and Nightcrawler.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe   unique, shadowy style of \u003cb\u003eGene Colan\u003c\/b\u003e (1926-2011) most memorably appeared in long stints on Captain America and Daredevil, and all 70 issues of Tomb of Dracula — among the dozens   of other Marvel titles he has drawn. His DC work on Detective   Comics and Night Force is equally well remembered. During the Golden Age, he drew   multiple war stories for Marvel and DC alike. Colan has earned several Eagle   Awards and had professional art showings in New York City. His work on Ed   Brubaker’s Captain America at the age of 82 drew well-deserved raves.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eDon   Heck\u003c\/b\u003e (1929-1995) worked for Harvey, Quality, Hillman and   other publishers before arriving at Atlas Comics, later Marvel, where he   penciled and inked stories for virtually every genre: crime, horror, jungle,   romance, war, Western and more. With Stan Lee and others, he launched Iron Man, his supporting cast and   his early rogues gallery — including the Black Widow, Hawkeye and the   Mandarin. He also succeeded Jack Kirby on Avengers. At DC, his artwork appeared in Justice   League of America, Flash, Wonder Woman and other titles.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eJohn   Byrne\u003c\/b\u003e has worked continuously in the comics industry as   both writer and artist since 1975. After he initially collaborated with   writer Chris Claremont on Iron Fist, Byrne and Claremont moved on to X-Men for a run still regarded as one of the title’s finest. Byrne   contributed an equally famed stint on Fantastic   Four, earning comparisons to the original   Lee\/Kirby issues for his imaginative plotlines and dynamic artwork. He also   spun Alpha Flight into   its own title. In 1986, he revamped DC’s flagship hero, Superman, reimagining   the Man of Steel in a historic project heralded by a Time magazine cover. His remarkable   contribution to the Marvel Universe extends to memorable associations with   virtually every major hero, including celebrated runs on Captain America, Iron Man, Sensational   She-Hulk, Namor the   Sub-Mariner and Thing. In the 21st century, Byrne’s considerable body of work   includes IDW’s Star Trek   and Angel.","brand":"Marvel Universe","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46303950143717,"sku":"NP9781302955458","price":75.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/es\/products\/marvel-masterworks-the-tomb-of-dracula-vol-4-isbn-9781302955458","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
