Synopsis for "A morte nos trilhos"

Reprint of the 1st story from
Tomb of Dracula #17
(originally printed as Death Rides the Rails!)
Having spent time in Paris, France, Dracula returns to the secret location of one of his coffins, lined with Transylvanian earth, so that he can rest for the night. However, he arrives to find that this secret location, like many of his other coffins, has been destroyed. Needing to find a coffin lined with dirt from his homeland in order to rest for the night, Dracula becomes furious. He is then attacked by Blade the vampire hunter, who is the one responsible for these coffins' destruction. Blade attempts to once more slay Dracula. Dracula manages to overpower Blade, and feed upon the vampire hunter, before leaving him for dead.

Dracula would flee into the night to the location of a fifth coffin, unknown to the vampire hunters, hidden in the farm house of Henri Verne, one of Dracula's enslaved humans, and his wife, Gerta.

The following night, Dracula begins his travels back to Transylvania, deciding this time to return home by boarding a train in Germany. After resting aboard the train, Dracula would then order the conductor to not let anyone into his quarters, and would then leave to find a fresh victim to feed upon. Also aboard the train are Frank Drake and Rachel van Helsing, who have deduced that Dracula is aboard the train and are waiting for him to strike, so that they might destroy him. The train further houses a man name Gruber and his bodyguard Granet. Gruber has something very important inside a briefcase and is afraid that their enemy is aboard the train and may claim it. However, despite this worry, Gruber sends Granet out to get him a drink. Dracula is walking through the train looking for a drink as well, he passes by the young Jack Russell, who is going to Transylvania for his own reasons, both unaware that fate will have their paths cross in the near future.

Meanwhile, back in Ireland, Lucas Brand is set upon some of Dr. Sun's best warriors, whom Brand is easily able to defeat. Convinced that Brand is of value to him, Dr. Sun welcomes him as part of their organization.

Back aboard the Transylvania-bound train, Dracula finds a young mother traveling with her son. Seducing the mother, Dracula leads her back to his quarters alone and feeds upon her. Her screams grab the attention of Drake, van Helsing as well as Gruber and Granet. Dracula manages to flee the area in his mist form before Frank and Rachel arrive and find that the woman is not dead, nor had Dracula fed on her enough to cause her to change into a vampire.

Dracula returns to his room where he curses his mistake, but he is soon interrupted by the arrival of Gruber and Granet who followed Dracula back to his room. Tricking the vampire lord into opening the door by posing as the porter, Granet attempts to kill Dracula by shooting him with a gun. Dracula laughs off this pathetic attack and easily knocks Granet aside. Thinking that Granet and Gruber are in league with Quincy Harker, Dracula kills Granet by throwing him from the train, before he can explain who he really works for, while Gerber flees the scene.

Dracula follows him, but is delayed when he runs into and has to fight past Frank Drake and Rachel van Helsing. He easily manages to get past the two vampire hunters in the tight quarters of the train. He tells them that he will meet them again at Castle Dracula, where he will see to their doom. Finding Gruber, Gruber warns Dracula to stay away, as he is charged with protecting his master's important documents. Not understanding what Gruber is babbling about, he scoffs at the importance a mere mortal's paperwork would have to a vampire. Upon hearing that Dracula is a vampire, Gruber fearfully smashes out a window to his own death. Before Dracula can make sense of what has happened, Rachel appears with a crossbow and attempts once more to stake Dracula. Dracula flees the scene before she can hit her target. Flying off into the Romanian sky, Dracula escapes.

Back down the line, the body of Gerber is found by an agent of Dr. Sun, who retrieves the case that Gerber protected so dearly. Reporting back to his master, this agent of Dr. Sun informs the mysterious man that he has succeeded in his mission.

Synopsis for "Inferno no gelo"

Reprint of the 1st story from
Tomb of Dracula #19
(originally printed as Snowbound in Hell!)
Story continued from Werewolf by Night #15...

Rachel van Helsing finds herself travelling through the winter ravaged Transylvanian Alps with an unlikely travelling companion: Her mortal enemy, Dracula, king of the vampires. In this baron and near lifeless domain, the two have become temporary companions relying on each other both to survive: Rachel so that she can return to relative safety off the mountains, and Dracula so he is not stuck in a winter wasteland without sufficient blood to stay alive.

After Rachel almost falls off the side of a cliff and is saved by Dracula, the two find shelter in a cave. Where Dracula starts a fire and the two talk about their mutual hatred of one another. As Rachel rests, Dracula goes out into the snow once more when he spots a mountain goat. He then feeds upon it, while he finds it's blood revitalizing, he finds the act of drinking non-human blood repulsive. Dracula then reflects back on how they ended up in this predicament: It was following his battle with the Werewolf when Rachel van Helsing stole the Second Book of Sins and made an escape in a helicopter. Following after, Dracula managed to board the copter. His weight throwing the helicopter off course until he managed to throw the helicopter pilot to his death, the two would find themselves miles off course in the Alps. The helicopter would crash. Dracula would find that Rachel had survived, and now finding his need to have the book has passed, and that his continued survival reliant upon Rachel's own survival he would administer first aid and the two would begin their search for rescue.

Finishing his recollection, Dracula brings the dead goat to Rachel so that she can cook it's meat for her own meal. Rachel and Dracula establish that while both need rest at different times, they are in a Mexican Stand-Off situation and that neither can kill the other without dooming themselves. Meanwhile, in Dr. Sun's Pagoda in Ireland, Mr. Lo continues to hone the skills of vampire Lucas Brand, to test the full limit of his abilities for his master Dr. Sun. While back in the mountains, Dracula and Rachel continue to struggle through the Alps. Having to climb a mountain by rope, Rachel has an another near-death experience when she almost falls down the side of the mountain, once more relying on Dracula to save her. This once more leads to an argument over who will destroy whom. Still in a stalemate position, the two once more seek refuge from the snow in another cave to rest.

While in Paris, Quincy Harker is standing over the vampire bitten Blade and is ready to drive a stake through his heart. Before Quincy can strike, Blade suddenly revives and to Quincy's surprise -- Blade has not changed into a vampire. Blade explains that through some twist of fate he is immune to vampire bites due to the fact his mother was bit by a vampire while Blade was being born. Blade vows to use his immunity to his advantage and not let it stop him from destroying all vampires.

Back in the Alps, while Dracula rests, Rachel attempts to slay him with a stake through the heart, however Dracula was waiting for such a move and knocks the girl away. Dracula then pulls her outside and demand that she keep going because he no longer cares about her discomfort in the cold. They are suddenly attacked by a mountain goat, with no choice Rachel realizes that she has to save Dracula or die alone in the cold and so she pulls out a gun and shoots the ram to death.

Just then, Frank Drake (who had commissioned another helicopter and has been searching for Rachel all this time) spots the two down below, and goes in for a rescue. Spotting Frank's helicopter, Rachel flees Dracula. Realizing that she intends to leave him behind, Dracula pounces on her and attempts to feed upon her body. However he is chased away when Frank begins firing upon him with wooden bullets. Frank then rescues Rachel and flies away, heading back to Transylvania, leaving Dracula in the Alps all alone.

This story is continued next issue...
