Comic Cover

Newspaper reporter Carl Kolchak recounts the events of the greatest manhunt in the history of Las Vegas: several women have been found dead, their bodies drained of blood, and two small puncture wounds are found on their necks. Using eyewitness accounts the police track down and corner the killer, only to learn that he possesses great physical strength, and is immune to bullets. Kolchak investigates but soon comes up against a cover-up by both the police and the city government; despite warnings he continues to look into the story, and becomes convinced that the murderer is a vampire. He tracks the undead creature to its lair and manages to kill it by driving a wooden stake through its heart. However, the authorities then use the threat of a murder charge to blackmail Kolchak into killing the story.
