Last week, Marvel Comics rereleased Tomb of Dracula Volume 1 Omnibus, and I finally got a chance to sit down and read it. Growing up, my best friend bought back issues of Tomb of Dracula, Werewolf By Night, and I, Vampire, and I loved reading them. I don't know why it never occurred to me to buy them myself but I didn't. Full disclosure, he had better taste in comics than I did. So I'm finally getting a chance to experience the complete story.
