Myron Fass of Eerie Publications came out with this non-comic look at Dracula in 1976 (with the short story, Dracula’s Guest, by Bram Stoker, included). It was followed up with another one-shot, Revenge of Dracula, in 1977. Both covers featured Bela Lugosi as the undead count. In Revenge, Sheridan Le Fanu’s Carmilla was added. John Thomas Church provided the non-prose content for both. Revenge was the last magazine to be published by Myron Fass under the Eerie Publications name as he and Stanley Harris split over differences and Harris took the name with him in 1977.
In The Weird World of Eerie Publications by Mike Howlett (Feral House), he recounts how things came to a head. Fass kept a gun in the office. “In the summer of 1976, there was the typical tension in the air, and Myron Fass was storming around the office after having a heated argument with Harris. He retreated to his office and then a gunshot rang out.”
“It was really loud, and everybody freaked out, Howard Smukler recalled. “We had a number of gay editors/artists, or at least non-violent English major types, and they were really going nuts.” The shot went through the wall into Harris’ office, barely missing him.
