 The Trial for the Rights to Nova
In 1967, Wolfman obtained a copyright registration, which we have a certified copy of for the Court, for the character Nova, which was published in a comic book that he, himself, published in 1967.
Wolfman: I disagreed because it was based on my character from 15 years ago and it was also, as I stated there, the concepts and the feelings of the character go back to things other than Spider-Man, namely my original.
Because Wolfman could not show an agreement to the contrary, the court finds that Marvel is the author of all of the characters in dispute in Claim 342 under both the Copyright Act of 1909 and the Copyright Act of 1976.

 The Comics Journal: Newswatch
If Wolfman found himself struggling alone against a corporate behemoth, however, it is almost certainly due at least in part to his own reluctance to appeal to other creators for help or to talk in public about the case.
Wolfman's attorney Michael Diliberto also pointed out to the Journal that it was easier for Marvel, a prime source of employment in the industry, to find helpful creator witnesses than it was for Marvel's lone opponent.
In addition, as Wolfman explains here, money was a limited resource that had a major impact on the strength of his case versus the strength of Marvel's.

 The Comics Journal: Marv Wolfman Trial
Wolfman claimed that he, not Marvel, owned the characters he created while working at Marvel and that Marvel had no right to license his character Blade for a recent popular motion picture.
Wolfman's answer, however, was that there was no standard practice, that the comics industry allowed for a variety of different arrangements between creator and publisher.
And when Wolfman ran out of anecdotes, his sole witness -- professional anecdote-teller Mark Evanier -- was called to the stand to tell about things he had heard about the varying circumstances surrounding other comics creators and their creations.

It was not until Marv Wolfman took over the writing reigns with issue #7 and continued for the rest of the comic's run that the title really took off.
Wolfman adds the final member of the core group in issue #7, Quincy Harker, the son of Jonathan and Mina Harker, now an old man in a wheelchair (because of an encounter with the Count), who brings a scientific approach to vampire slaying.
Wolfman and Colan also throw in some stories in which Dracula is reduced to a supporting character (e.g., #16, #23), and there is a crossover adventure with "Werewolf by Night." But one of the strengths of "Tomb of Dracula" was that it was out of the mainstream Marvel Universe.

On Wolfman's website, he says something at http://www.marvwolfman.com/Q&A.html, in response to a question about how some DC heroes seemed to remember things about the Crisis (and the people from one Earth or another who had died in it) in their monthly titles, while others (Superman in his own titles, for instance) seemed totally oblivious.
First, I don't really believe the funny claim I quoted at the very start, wherein he claimed that killing off all those characters and their homeworlds and so forth in Crisis was a nasty trick he pulled on DC when everybody else was out to lunch or something.
Wolfman does criticize all the other "Great Big Universal Crossover Events" stuff that Marvel and DC (and sometimes other companies) have played around with ever since Crisis became a surprise hit.

Of the list I killed only two, and two were created to die (Terra and Kole) though Kole was, in retrospect, a mistake which I did because other writers complained we weren't killing off any of my characters in Crisis, and if I wanted their characters to die I had to kill one of mine.
On the first point, you are absolutely correct - Wolfman is being sarcastic when he suggests that he somehow was able to sneak these deaths past DC editorial.
