Here's the first chapter in the saga of a Victorian-era monster hunter...
..produced for a Spanish partworks comic series in the early 1970s!
You'll find out if a lead projectile will stop the creature (and if it doesn't...what will?)...next Tuesday!
This first part of a two-part tale from Dracula #1 (1971) was co-written by Luis Vigil & Jose Bea, and illustrated by Bea.
The Sir Leo series was published irregularly in Dracula (1971), a 12-issue partworks magazine* by Great Britain's New English Library, the first two Sir Leo tales made their American debut in Warren Publishing's HTF Dracula TPB in 1972 which reprinted #1-#6 of the British Dracula's run.
The remaining tales from #7-#12 have never been published in the US...but you'll see them during this weekly series, which is part of the CountDown to Halloween 2019 Blogathon!
*Partworks magazines are a limited series issued from weekly, fortnightly, or monthly.
They usually run 12-24 issues for each volume.
When the final issue in a volume is published, the publishers offer a wraparound cover to make the complete set into a hardbound book.
The buyer is offered the option to bind the magazines themselves or send the set to the publisher who professionally-binds the mags and sends the bound volume back to the customer.
This concept is extremely popular in Europe, but has never caught on in America, despite numerous attempts.
