I love those Marvel comics set in London (which apparently is the only city in England). Everything seems to have set-dressed from a Victorian melodrama.
I trust you have looked up the cover of this very issue on the web - all Severin's bystanders look as though they're about to exclaim 'Crikey! What a pea-souper, guv'ner!'
I'm slightly surprised about how distasteful, thirty-five years later, I find the parade of pretty young girls whose entire purpose in the story is to be murdered by Dracula. Still, at least next issue Archie Goodwin introduces a woman who's more than just a victim, and then it's only four issue until Wolfman starts.
So far, I have only met one pretty young girl... oh, hang on, as I typed I remembered one briefly in this second issue.
Yes, I suppose you could call Rachel Van Helsing 'a woman who's more than just a victim'... (I am up to issue four on reading and first draft reviews). Are you ahead of me?
Point of pedantry: No, forget it. As a Classical Scholar you are using Roman counting.
