Dracula Versus Zorro #2

Dracula Versus Zorro was published by Topps Comics in 1993 as part of an ambitious cross-license endeavor that brought together two of the most iconic figures in gothic horror and swashbuckling fiction. The series was designed to blend the dark atmosphere of Bram Stoker’s legendary vampire with the pulp adventure sensibilities of Johnston McCulley’s masked vigilante, positioning the two rivals in a historical struggle set against the backdrop of 19th-century California.

The creative direction for the series was handled by writer Don McGregor and artist Mike Mayhew, who sought to capture the high-contrast drama of a period thriller. The publication emerged during a brief era in the early 1990s when licensed crossover titles were a prominent feature of the independent comic book market, ultimately finding a cult audience among collectors who appreciated the stylistic fusion of classic creature features and traditional heroic archetypes.
