Giant-Size Dracula #4
In "Let It Bleed!", a chillingly personal horror tale from Giant-Size Dracula #4 (1975), a vampire breaks the fourth wall to confront the reader directly, revealing a disturbing obsession rooted in rejection and a twisted fascination with the very comics they love. With art by Bill Molno and inks by Vince Alascia, the story unfolds as a hauntingly intimate threat, built on the eerie detail of a custom-printed comic placed just for you. The cover, by Gil Kane and Tom Palmer, captures the moment of dread with a fanged, clawed figure poised in the reader’s shadow—just daring you to look away.

Breaking the fourth wall a vampire addresses the reader, his intended victim. He tells how he first encountered his victim-to-be when he asked for help and was rebuffed. The vampire followed the reader, discovering where he lived and what comics he liked to buy. He spent considerable money printing up a custom copy of Adventures into Terror to place on the newsstand. The last panel of the story shows the vampire with claws extended and fangs bared - daring you to look over your shoulder.
