Synopsis for "Blood-Rush!"

Reprint of the 1st story from
Tomb of Dracula #38

Continued from last issue....

Waiting for Aurora to show up and see the real live vampire that he's found, Harold H. Harold is shocked to find that Dracula has actually gotten out of bed, however the vampire lord faints once more and when Aurora finally shows up she helps him get the vampire king back into bed. At first the slow-witted Aurora doesn't believe that Harold has a real vampire until Dracula begins muttering about his need of blood. They worry about where they could find blood when Aurora then recalls where Harvard stores it's medical supply of blood (as she once dated a quarterback that attended Harvard.)

Meanwhile, at the hide out of Dr. Sun, Juno finalizes his preparation to aid his master. Sun and Juno spy on Quincy Harker, Frank Drake and Rachel van Helsing who are discussing their plans to track down and destroy the weakened Dracula. They are interrupted when Frank thinks he sees Dracula, however when the all run outside they don't see him anywhere. Believing that he couldn't have gone far in his weakened state they spot him flying away in bat form and follow after him.

While at Harvard, Harold and Aurora enter the medical wing and while Aurora distracts an intern, Harold goes into the lab and steals as many vials of blood as he can carry. Quickly returning back to his apartment, Harold and Aurora begin feeding Dracula the blood that they have stolen. As Aurora feeds him, Harold gets a tape recorder ready in the hopes of getting an interview with Dracula when he awakens.

Quincy Harker and the others track "Dracula" back to Dr. Sun's lair, and learn that they were tricked into following an illusion when they are confronted by Juno. Taken down to Doctor Sun, the evil genius explains his plans to the three vampire hunters: He re-explains how he ended up becoming a disembodied brain and how his previous plot to transfer Dracula's memories into the mind of his own vampire had failed, but also that the experiment had another purpose, to transfer Dracula's powers into Sun's own form. It becomes clear that Sun wants to use Dracula's vast powers to take over the world. Quincy however explains to Sun that such a goal would be fool hardy and that Dracula himself abandoned that idea long ago because a world of vampire slaves would leave him with nothing to consume.

Quincy then fires darts from his wheelchair at Dr. Sun, however he only succeeds in destroying the machine that has been siphoning Dracula's powers. Quincy and the others are quickly subdued by Juno and Dr. Sun orders Juno to go and collect Dracula to finally destroy him.

At the home of Harold H. Harold, having been fed enough blood and without Sun's machine siphoning his powers Dracula finds himself revitalized. He thanks Harold and Aurora for their aid and repays their kindness by sparing their lives. Harold asks Dracula to provide him with an interview so that he might keep his job. Although Dracula cares little for Harold's plights, Dracula finds the concept amusing and decides to agree to giving him an interview. However, before it can start Juno bursts through the door to collect Dracula. Because Dracula himself is seeking out Dr. Sun, he agrees to go peacefully to deal with the issue of Dr. Sun. With the two departing out the door, Aurora convinces Harold that they should follow after them and try to save Dracula.

Shortly, Dracula is brought before Doctor Sun, and his imprisoned foes Harker, Drake and van Helsing. Doctor Sun welcomes Dracula to his home and vows to destroy him.

Synopsis for "Battle for the Palace of the Gods!"

Reprint of the 1st story from
Man-Thing #1

Story continued from Fear #19.... At the F. A. Schist Construction Camp, Man-Thing, Korrek and Howard the Duck are confronted by demons that are followers of the "Overmaster" who seeks to take over all of existence. Fighting a losing battle against the neigh indestructible demons, the trio are saved by a last minute intervention by Dakimh, who asks them to join him in stopping the Overmaster.

Meanwhile, Jennifer Kale is a prisoner of the Congress of Realities, who are waiting for the arrival of the Overmaster to execute her. When the Overmaster arrives he orders his men to execute her, however they fail to do so when a dimensional shift causes Daredevil and Black Widow to briefly appear in the room and disarm her executioners. Jennifer is suddenly turned into water and leaks between the floor boards and rematerializes in between realms where Dakimh and the others are waiting for her. Explaining that they need to realign the Nexus of All Realities, the foursome begin to hop across the dimensional path, however Howard trips and falls into the dimensional void. In order not to lose any more of his companions, Dakimh creates a helmet of protection for Korrek. When the trio arrive at the center of the nexus, they succeed in realigning it, however it also gives the Overmaster and his Congress of Realities access to the realm of Therea, where they hope to kill the Gods that reside there and take over.

Travelling to Therea themselves, Dakimh and the others stop the Overmaster's armies progression to the palace of Therea. There the Overmaster unmasks himself, revealing him to be the demon Thog. The Man-Thing battles Thog and his minions, burning those who fear him, and when Thog becomes afraid of plunging into the moat of Therean water, Man-Thing grabs him and he begins to burn as well. With his hands melting, Thog tries to break free, and ends up falling in the moat of pure water, which seemingly kills him. With their master defeated, the Congress and it's armies retreat back from whence they came.

After the battle, when the others wonder why the gods of Therea didn't help in the battle, Dakimh shows that they never lived in the castle at all, but in the village below, and that the God's of this realm are two dogs under the care of two farmers. When the Man-Thing touches one of the dogs, they are all shown the full of reality before all being sent to their respective homes.
