Behold, the TERRIFYING VISAGE of COUNT DRACULA!
There are several reasons why the early 1950's are considered to be the golden age of horror comics, but Eerie Comics #12 (August 1953) isn't one of them.
....and since I've already dirtied my hands rummaging through the pauper's grave of popcult obscurities in search of suitable material, I might as well toss this curious specimen in your general direction:
Toto Coelo - Dracula's Tango (from a 1982 single; collected on I Eat Cannibals & Other Tasty Trax, 1996) - Moving from flesh-eating to blood-drinking over the course of a few months -- you don't see that kind of creative growth in today's musical acts.
(In case you were wondering, "Toto Coelo" is the original name of the new wave girl group. They were rechristened "Total Coelo" for American releases, lest the unwashed masses confuse them with the "Rosanna" guys. Give me dance pop goofiness over soporific soft rock any day.)
(Note: In today's installment of pronounced WOO-BIN, I beat on a countercultural legend.)

Man .. where do you hide all ths stuff... very cool, thanks and keep it up
I am sad to say, I actually remember this group. I had a copy of the I Eat Cannibals single. Sufficient to say I'm glad this group has disappeared off (ALMOST!!) radar.
