Haunt of Fear #16 [2]
"Vampire!" kicks off in 2902 B.C. with King Khufu’s obsessive pursuit of the maiden Nirrah, setting a chilling tone as ancient secrets and forbidden love collide. Written by Al Feldstein and brought to life with haunting detail by Jack Kamen, the story unfolds through a chilling tale of resurrection and fate—only to echo through time when a modern British Museum expedition uncovers the same tomb, where history nearly repeats itself. The cover by Johnny Craig captures the eerie grandeur of the moment, perfectly framing the dread that lingers beneath the sands.

Years later, members of a British Museum expedition discover the tomb and a similar scenario is played out.....but with a different result!
