Marvel Age #1: Monster Moment

Thor vs. Dracula!

Marvel Age #1 promises us a battle between Thor, the God of Thunder, and Dracula, Lord of the Vampires, in Thor Issues 332-333. Story summary below.

Written by Alan Zelenetz, Pencils by Don Perlin, Inks by Vince Colletta, published cover date of Jun-Jul 1983.

Issue 332. Jane is ill, and missing, and this issue starts us off with a lengthy and confusing recap of previous events. But none of it really matters to the story we're here to read. Dracula turns some young adults into vampires which Thor battles. During the distraction Dracula drinks Sif's blood and is fueled by her Asgardian power.

Issue 333. Dracula and Thor battle, and as Dracula's power is drained by fighting, Sif reverts back to normal. Thor's hammer has HOLY POWERS! Dracula flees and Thor resumes his quest for Jane.

Bill Sienkiewicz covers, 333 is astounding.

Shopping List:

- the hunt for Dracula is resumed in Doctor Strange Issues 59-60, minus Thor.

- there is a note in the letters column that reminded me I need to read the Celestials Saga.

Thanks for reading! Tim B
