not polybagged with three trading cards. To Rise Again - Written by Roy Thomas. Art and Cover by Esteban Maroto.
Before the legend, Count Dracula the vampire, could exist, the man of history, Prince Vlad Dracula of Wallachia, Vlad the Impaler, had to die and be reborn! This, the dramatic conclusion of the Topps Comics trilogy, is the tale of Prince Dracula's assassination and of the horrifying aftermath that launched the legend! Is it really Prince Dracula's head that rots in the sun that bathes Byzantium? Rumors from Wallachia and Transylvania claim that it is not. Instead, something far more horrifying has happened to Vlad Dracula, the man who died beneath an assassin's blade. Rumors claim Dracula is back as a prince of the undead, and that he...not the sultan...will drink the final bloody drops from the cup called revenge.
