Reception

The second story by Paul Kupperberg is a straightforward Scooby-Doo fairplay mystery. The author gives clues to the reader, creates a plausible history behind the vampire and lays out the Gang's thought processes. Mystery Inc. is in fine form, and the conclusion injects originality into the formula of the unmasking.

Artists Scott Gross and Jorge Pacheco vary their characters from the Hanna-Barbera originals ever so slightly. More importantly, they switch the angles of the point of view panels to curtail static storycrafting.

These two exceptional Scooby snacks will please any Scooby fan, and kudos must also be given to Heroic Age for an overall attentive coloring that serves to create an eerie mood in the second story.
