1970s Marvel fear-fest that followed the easing of Code strictures against vampires and whatnot in 1971. Tomb of Dracula was Marvel's most successful and longest-lived horror title, outliving the brief horror resurgence to become an enduring fan fave.

"Horror comics enjoyed a brief resurgence during the 1970s after the first revision of the code, but this resurgence was short lived." – Amy Kyste Nyberg, Seal of Approval: The History of the Comics Code. University Press of Mississippi: 1998, p. 158.
