I picked up the TPB yesterday and just finished reading it.I knew I already had the Tomb of Dracula #44/Doctor Strange #14 crossover from years ago but as I was skimming through the TPB I realised that I also had the original issues of Doctor Strange #58-62 which was also reprinted.I hadn't read them since I originally got them so it was nice reading them again.Marvel's version of Dracula has always been one of my favorites.

I'd love if they put out another Dracula TPB reprinting Dracula's other appearances in Marvel titles.I know he had a two part story in Thor and met the X-Men a couple times that I seem to remember as well as his kind of meeting with Spider-Man.Not sure if there were any others.

Although this happened well before the incidents of the "Montesi Formula" arc, Dracula also made a cameo appearance in Ms. Marvel. I don't remember the issue #, but the artist was Carmine Infantino and the villain of the week was Steeplejack. In the story, Carol returns to Boston and pays a visit to her estranged father. A saboteur (Steeplejack) is targeting Joe Danvers' latest construction project.

Carol begins investigating; while walking around Boston, a fog falls over the street. Carol hears footsteps following her, but can't see her stalker. She calls out a warning, then decides that flying off would be the better course of action. Carol turns into Ms. Marvel and flies away. Readers immediately learn that Dracula was pursuing Carol, intending to make her his latest victim!

Tomb of Dracula is still the best Marvel horror book ever published. Loved Drac , coolest villain around.

This webpage contains a ton of info on Marvel's version of Dracula, including summaries and a chronological list of all his appearances and lists of powers, allies, enemies, etc. There's also links to pages about lots of other Marvel monsters, including Frankenstein's Monster, the Werewolf, and the Zombie.
