Strange Bites
This Doctor Strange book takes a few issues from the Tomb of Dracula and Doctor Strange series of comics from the mid-1980s and weaves together a story arc that is fun to read as well as, at least for me, some interesting art skills.
You can't beat the master Gene Colan and his stuff shines as we first encounter Count Dracula and Dr. Strange does not fare well. In fact he gets himself bit! Even his astral self has a hard time. Drac is no push-over for sure.
We do see some other guys such as Hannibal King, Blade and others, but they're not well-developed characters here and I felt they were thrown in just to give some interest to the story and are not major players (except for King).
The title of the story, "Montesi Formula" refers to an ancient dark secret discovered by a monk centuries ago that took fragments of a powerful dark book and its formula for destroying vampires. We read how the vampires were created in the first place by The Darkhold which was a cool plot point.
Strange is not so aloof, but quite emotional during most of the story. Dracula is his usual arrogant self which is great to see.
Of the artists, Dan Green (penciller) and Terry Austin (inker) gave the most Ditko-esque view of Strange. And Steve Elialoha's art is perfect for the last chapter, "Deliver Us From Evil!"
Highly recommended for the Strange and Dracula fans, lots of action and the occasional slow-down but overall quite entertaining.
