This is my favourite tale from this series - it’s a pity that the artwork isn’t up to scratch and there is a spelling error too - but the villain is as dastardly as they come, reminding me of the character from the Tales From The Crypt movie where a retired Major runs a home for the blind.
Patrick Wright pencils from a Steve Parkhouse script.
Yeah, well, sometimes nothin' can be a real cool hand.
I think some of the others are - Richard Burton, Liz Taylor, Rex Harrison, Malcolm Muggeridge, Peter Sellers, Margaret Rutherford (as Miss Marple) and Harold Wilson.
Can anyone else help?
Yeah, well, sometimes nothin' can be a real cool hand.
This one was a change of direction for the series as The Swamp Thing’s Berni Wrightson was handed both script and art duties. Though both script and artwork are fine, I don’t think the story fits into Van Helsing style that the series maintained up to then.

More from MAD magazine…it’s fun to try and name all the characters in the final panel!
😂😂😂 "Tasti Delight", very good. No, I couldn't name all those faces.
and all I got was the Beatles and Churchill
it may help to remember this was published April 1965, so thesed be personalities known by the public then (before my time)
wait, maybe I got one: is that Milton Berle back row, fourth from the left?
I think some of the others are - Richard Burton, Liz Taylor, Rex Harrison, Malcolm Muggeridge, Peter Sellers, Margaret Rutherford (as Miss Marple) and Harold Wilson.

General Montgomery ("Monty"), Harold Macmillan, Twiggy
which one is Sellers? is he the one holding up the "Praise the Bomb" sign? it looks sort of like one of characters from Dr Strangelove
He's the one above Churchill.
Ah, Macmillan, not Muggeridge 😂
Is Enoch Powell there? Peter Noone?
Didn't notice either of them, sorry.

Father Shandor #3 - Script by Alan Moore and Dez Skinn with superlative artwork by John Bolton.
Van Helsing’s Terror Tales #18

I love the ending of the first one! These Father Shandor stories are pretty good.
The second one, as you say, not so much.
