June 1975, Atlas/Seaboard, Fright: Son of Dracula #1 Cover, Frank Thorne pencils/inks, “And Unto Dracula Was Born a Son!”, I am delighted to be the custodian for the Cover and the complete 18 page story of the One-Shot issue of Son of Dracula #1, drawn by the incredible Frank Thorne, and written by Gary Friedrich. The One-Shot comic was published by the short-lived Atlas/Seaboard company founded by Martin Goodman. This story features the Son of Dracula in this lone issue. It tells of the original Dracula's union with a female blood relative. Betrayed by Dracula following the birth of their son, the unnamed woman sends the baby to America with a foster mother, with instructions for his "protection". Furious, Dracula vows to one day reclaim his son. Years later, in 1975, Columbia University professor Adam Lucard is horrified when his true nature reveals itself for the first time. Aware of his heritage, Lucard always takes nocturnal precautions passed down from his natural mother... but an intruder disturbs his rest and becomes his first victim.
