5.0 out of 5 stars Some of Marvel's best supernatural action, November 26, 2006

By	Thanos6 (Chapin, SC USA) - See all my reviews

Unlike the previous reviewer, I don't think old-school is bad, especially as the bulk of this collection consists of stories from the 80s, Marvel's second Golden Age.

Wolfman, Englehart, and especially Stern do an exceptional job at providing just the right amount of exposition without either leaving the reader confused or reeling from an infodump. Characters are nicely distinct from another.

The art is spectacular as well, especially Leiahola's in the final story. The actual cover art (which is NOT pictured here) is also superb.

4.0 out of 5 stars Dr. Strange sets out to destroy all vampires!, September 28, 2008

By	J. Hicks "James S. Hicks (AKA Karl Stern)" (Alabama, USA) - See all my reviews

I am a big Dracula fan. If you've read many of my reviews you know I own tons of Dracula books. Of all the incarnations of Bram Stoker's great creation, the Marvel Comics adaptation is my favorite. This trade paper back collects multiple issues of Tomb of Dracula and Dr. Strange featuring the interplay between the two.

Dr. Strange finds the mystical Darkhold book and discovers the origins of vampirism in the Marvel Universe. He also discovers how to destroy all Vampires. Meanwhile, the cult of the Darkholders have revived Dracula and have given him immunity to many of his weaknesses including sunlight and religious objects.

Dr. Strange wants the Darkhold to destroy vampires and Dracula wants it for it's dark powers leading to a battle between the two. Also features such Dracula supporting cast members as Blade and Hannibal King.

4.0 out of 5 stars A good old comic, November 9, 2006

By	A. Conway "athincomicbookguy" (Mountain View, CA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The drawing is a bit old school. The story is solid a must for Doc Strange fans. How could be a better villian that dracula??
