35 years ago: On July 13, 1979, Dracula returned to the big screen in a much-anticipated revival starring Frank Langella…which faltered at the box office in part because the April-released Drac comedy “Love At First Bite” had already tapped a vein with audiences. Regardless, Warren Publications was poised to seize tie-in sales with four cover spotlights in July...the film-based Famous Monsters of Filmland #157 and Warren Presents #5 along with Creepy #111 and Vampirella #81 (the latter reprinting material from 1972). Marvel, incidentally, was between vampire series at this point, having ended its color Tomb of Dracula comic in May and slated to relaunch it as a black and white magazine in August.
