The Case of the Demon Spawn!

Time for a lengthy, but none the less fast and frightfully fun, Sherlock Holmes-ish inspired tale of blood sucking terror from the October 1973 issue of House of Secrets #112. 

Vengeance is Mine!

After a few posts featuring Frankenstein's monster, werewolves, and lesbian vampires, it's time to let Dracula have a turn, only this time his nefarious name is Sandor! Scripted by ever reliable Jack Oleck --who just might've recently seen Al Adamson's low budget drive-in classic, Dracula vs. Frankenstein from 1971 (featuring a vampire named "Zandor"), this is another nice example of 70's DC storytelling, one that takes its good 'ol sweet, 10-page time to deliver a wonderfully weird blood sucker revenge tale that really gets to the heart of the matter-- especially when an innocent young boy becomes involved! From the February 1974 issue of House of Mystery #222, and art by Frank Redondo, plus a really creepy cover by Luis Dominguez at the very end. FYI: vampires beckoning at the window of a child is one of the spookier ways to get even Mr. Karswell's skin a'crawlin', just ask him about that terrifyin' time over in Jerusalem's Lot...
