		The series begins with Frank Drake and a friend visiting Castle Dracula in Transylvania, which Drake, a descendant of the famous Count, has inherited and now hopes to turn into a tourist attraction.
		Drake's friend accidentally awakens the sleeping Lord of Vampires and the rest of the series concerns the efforts of Drake and a group of vampire hunters led by Quincy Harker, a descendant of Jonathon Harker in the original novel Dracula, to hunt Fangs down.

	Unca Cheeks Silver Age Comics Site: Tomb Of Dracula
		Fresh from a long, loooonnnnng stint on Marvel's DAREDEVIL title, the two gentlemen brought with them scrupulous storytelling skills; total mastery of facial nuance and body language; and a facility with light and shadow that constantly reminded one of the pencil sketchings of Vermeer.
		Frank Drake -- last living blood descendent of Ol' Fang Facehis own bad self, and fanatical vampire-hater in general; weak, dissolute, and yearning to be even half the decisive "man of action" everyone thinks he should be.
		Quincy Harker: the aged, wheelchair-bound technological (and strategic) savant of the team, whose wife was slaughtered by Dracula (the same incident, in fact, which cost the then-young Harker the use of his legs), and whose only daughter was turned into a vampire by You-Know-Who.

	Don Markstein's Toonopedia: The Tomb of Dracula
		In 1971, the Comics Code Authority, which had dictated the standards in the American comic book industry since the mid-1950s, relaxed its strictures on the horror genre.
		Tomb of Dracula #1, the company's first use of vampires since the Code had come into effect (and no relation to either a Dracula series Dell Comics had done a few years earlier or another Hanna-Barbera was to do a few years later), had a cover date of April, 1972.
		The initial storyline skipped around a lot, as writers came and went, but settled down when, with the seventh issue, Marv Wolfman (Teen Titans, Dial H for Hero) took over the scripting, and continued to write the series for years.

	Comic Book Resources - CBR News: Razor Sharp: Guggenheim talks "Blade"
		Some readers might be wondering if Blade's supernatural slaying compatriots from the Nightstalkers, Frank Drake and Hannibal King, will be making their return to the Marvel Universe in the pages of "Blade." "I want to keep the focus on Blade for the time being," Guggenheim stated.
		As for old, such as King and Drake, I've found -- maybe I'm alone in this, but I've found -- Blade's back-story to be very convoluted, you see all the different attempts writers have made at making him cool.
		Guggenheim doesn't have any immediate plans for King and Drake in "Blade," but readers will see many familiar faces and organizations in the series like SHIELD, which appears in the first issue.

	Essential Tomb Of Dracula Vol. 2 Review - Silver Bullet Comics
		As Dracula, Lord of the Undead continues to prey upon humanity while battling the vampire hunters that continue to seek his destruction, we see his efforts to discover the source of a draining of his vampire powers leads him to America, where he clashes once again with the evil Doctor Sun.
		The first Essential volume of this series left me quite excited over the discovery of a horror comic that had managed to overcome the hurdle of what happens after the monster is seemingly destroyed.
		It also did a pretty effective job of basing a series around a lead character who was clearly a villain, without pushing the character into the ill-fitting role of playing the hero of the stories.
