I think the most telling thing about the whole panel is that the speech bubble correctly labels this as his new “suit.” I can’t help but read that as being sarcastic. Yes Dracula, your “suit” looks “great.”

@”Jazzy” Jeff Hebert: This could be a good idea a character contest. We could: A)give Dell’s Dracula a new costume, or B)create a hero inspired by a monster.

I think the costume doesn’t completely suck. Yes, it’s an obvious batman ripoff, and I’ll be damned if I know what’s going on with his nose, plus I’m not sure if he’d gone with the bat motif or cat motif. But otherwise it might work. It just doesn’t look all that Vampirish.

The Dell Dracula book is from 1962, so that puts it firmly in the Silver Age, not Golden Age of comics. That is actually of importance here, as the main reason that this was not a “scary vampire book” is the Comics Code not allowing depiction of the undead.
