When Eerie Publications hit the scene in the mid-60's they hit upon an interesting idea for writing their horror stories --- they just wouldn't do it. Why pay writers, they apparently thought, when there were so many great horror comic stories already out there? So, Eerie took stories already in print, mostly from the early 1950s, and gave them to artists to redraw in a modern vein, generally more graphic, more gory. This was not, srtictly speaking, legal --- in fact, it was piracy. Still, either no one noticed, perhaps thinking that the story seemed vaguely familiar at times, or no one was left from those companies to care. Either way, Eerie Publications put out some excellent work, and left comic historians with an interesting study. For the first time, those stories from the 1950s and the pirated plots are laid side-by-side for the interested reader to enjoy and compare. This book contains the first two issues of TERRORS OF DRACULA from Eerie Publications, and for 18 of the 20 stories inside, we present the original story first. This is comic history at its best!
