GIANT-SIZE CHILLERS FEATURING THE CURSE OF DRACULA #1 (1974): 1st Lilith

Giant-Size Chillers changes its name to Giant-Size Dracula with issue #2, so that’s how I’m tagging this short-lived series of reprints-with-one-original-story-per-issue.

The first introduces Lilith, the daughter of Dracula.

The first time we see her, she kills an abusive father.  Yes, she is in fact working out her daddy issues.  Count Dracula never loved her enough.

Also, she was killed by Quincy Harker and she’s out for vengeance.

And it seems like she kills him.  But of course she doesn’t.

Over the course of the story, we learn about her past (Dracula was a bad dad, and was her father before he became a vampire), she was raised by gypsies whose kids were eaten by Drac after he became a vampire, so the gypsies magically made Lilith into a creature bent on getting vengeance on Dracula.

But it seems being dead for 30 years has made her want to team up with Dracula.  But he rejects her offer.

And from here, the action will move to Tomb of Dracula.
