'''''Dracula Lives!''''' was an [[United States|American]] black-and-white [[horror comics|horror]] [[comic magazine]] series published by [[Curtis Magazines|Marvel Comics]] in the mid-1970s. ''Dracula Lives!'' published 13 issues and one Super Annual, featuring [[Dracula (Marvel Comics)|Dracula]] stories.
Running concurrently with the longer-running Marvel comic ''[[The Tomb of Dracula]]'', the continuities of the two titles occasionally overlapped, with storylines weaving between the two. Most of the time, however, the stories in ''Dracula Lives!'' were stand-alone tales by various creative teams. Later issues of ''Dracula Lives!'' featured a serialized adaptation of the original [[Dracula|Bram Stoker novel]], written by [[Roy Thomas]] and drawn by [[Dick Giordano]].
The magazine format did not fall under the purview of the [[Comics Code]], allowing the title to feature stronger content — such as moderate profanity, partial nudity, and more graphic violence — than Marvel's "mainstream" titles. The larger format allowed the interior artists to "stretch out" a bit more. Painted covers of the series were done by artists like [[Boris Vallejo]], [[Neal Adams]], and [[Luis Dominguez]]. ''Dracula Lives!''<nowiki>'</nowiki> text and photo articles were mostly of the Count's various film appearances. The title of the magazine's [[Comic book letter column|letter column]] was "Dracula Reads!"
