the G-man said:Wonder Boy said: I'm thinking in particular of a Bissette/Tottleben "Dracula" story in BIZZARE ADVENTURES 33, from 1982. THe cover of that is of Dennis O'Neil and a female Marvel staffer.
That's Denny O'Neill? Are you sure? I've met the man (including once in the mid 80s) and he looked nothing like that.
Well, O'Neil jokes in the issue's editorial about how people should be afraid of him because he was present when the picture was taken. It could be an ambiguous way of saying he was in the background off-camera when it was shot. But he seems to jokingly be saying he's the vampire in the picture, and that he's not human.
The "Dracula" story by Perry/Bissette/Tottleben is a great story, and very Halloween atmospheric. It also is the first Bissette/Tottleben collaboration, that precedes their work together with Alan Moore on SWAMP THING, by about a year, with some really eerie visual effects using photo-collage in the story.
Exceptionally well-written also. On a par with Alan Moore, and one of my favorites.
