The Vampire with Iron Teeth-Hy Fleishman-1953


This story, well-drawn by the still with us Hy Fleishman, actually set off a bizarre story in Scotland about a year after its US publication. See article below!

This is highly reminiscent of the work of Jack Kamen and well-done for all of that.

That article... really? It's worrying to think of anyone getting so worked up over something that's not true... but it's also pretty impressive that the kids were going to not only face up to a monster but go hunting for one!

The Gorbals Vampire story inspired a play & a comic, and a very nice Frank Quitely illustration.

Thanks for the link. That is definitely a boss--though historically inaccurate--image from Frank Quitely.
