Dracula returns to
his coffin in a Surrey mortuary, planning revenge against his enemies, starting
with the motorcycle gang that attacked him while he was weak (issue #9
flashback)….
The leader of that
gang, Lucas Brand, has been hired by an invalid, Jason Faust, to use his gang
to take revenge against his enemies. Next on the list is banker Oliver Gordon;
on their way to his office, the gang splashes mud on Frank Drake and
Rachel van Helsing, on their way to see a Dracula stage play. Brand confronts Gordon, who
did not allow Faust to cash in bonds before the due date; for that reason,
Faust was unable to have an operation, leaving him trapped in an iron lung.
Brand contacts the boss—who uses the power of voodoo to torment and kill
Gordon….
Jason Faust reveals
that on a business venture in Haiti, he was captured by natives for violating
their sacred ground and subsequently tortured and crippled by voodoo, leaving
him an invalid. But one good thing came out of hit: he learned the power of
voodoo to use against his enemies….
At a nightclub,
Dracula locates a member of the motorcycle gang and scares the man, who left
the group because he wanted nothing to do with the Faust job, into telling him
he can find his former mates in Dover, on their second murder mission. Dracula
flies to the White Cliffs where he finds the victim dead but he is able to
trace the motorcycle tracks to the home of their next victim—Quincy Harker.
Brand and his hoods tell Quincy that Jason Faust wants revenge for Quincy’s
having advised him to go to Haiti but Dracula bursts in, accidentally rescuing
his old enemy. Dracula hypnotizes the gang into driving their cycles to the
White Cliffs and over but he has a special fate for Lucas Brand. He bites the
man, turning him into a vampire, and sends him back to Jason Faust. Brand bites
Faust, but Faust pierces a voodoo doll of Brand so that the gang leader dies.
Faust becomes a vampire—only to perish with the dawn when the rising sun kills
him….
