Gerry Conway ( The Punisher, Power Girl) wrote the script, which involved a latter-day descendant of Dracula, an American named Frank Drake. Like the average Dracula movie, this comic book used Bram Stoker's famous novel as part of its back-story, but opened with the re-animation of the vampire in modern times. Tomb of Dracula #1, the company's first use of vampires since the Code had come into effect (and no relation to either a Dracula series Dell Comics had done a few years earlier or another Hanna-Barbera was to do a few years later), had a cover date of April, 1972. Marvel Comics launched Werewolf by Night, Ghost Rider and Man-Thing's first ongoing series. In 1971, the Comics Code Authority, which had dictated the standards in the American comic book industry since the mid-1950s, relaxed its strictures on the horror genre.
