This
stands out in my memory as the moment when my love for comics and love
for horror (stoked by Saturday night viewings of Chiller Theater) came
together. Marvel’s line of black and white horror magazines was not
regulated by the Comics Code Authority,
so, in theory, they could be R-rated. In truth, there was never much of
anything shocking, but the very idea that something naughty could happen
gave these magazines even more appeal to a kid.
The very next issue began the origin of Dracula, illustrated by the incomparable Neal Adams. That was 1973 and it remains one of my favorite comics stories.

I have a lot of love for these magazines. Some of the other titles included Monsters Unleashed, Tales of the Zombie, Haunt of Horror and Vampire Tales.
