#1, Dracula Returns! (1973) with cover art by Harry Borgman

This is the first edition of the Dracula Horror Series, a.k.a. The Return of Dracula, written by Robert Lory (b. 1936) and published by Pinnacle Books between 1973 and 1975.

The typography is largely the same for all nine volumes, with Quaint Roman used for the titles and Contact for the author’s name, the series title, and the teaser texts. On the cover for #7, Contact got replaced by the similar Monotype Clarendon Condensed for the teaser. And on the last two volumes, these texts are set in Record Gothic Heavy Condensed.
