Notes & Trivia

 * This issue is reprinted in the Doctor Strange versus Dracula: The Montesi Formula trade paperback, which was released in 2006.

 * Apparent death of Dracula.


 * Apparent death of Lilith Drake.


 * Final appearance of Harold H. Harold; dies in this issue.


 * Because Hannibal King never drank human blood, he was able to temporarily stave off the effects of the Montesi Formula. A blood transfusion, performed by Stephen Strange, enables him to survive.


 * The effects of the Montesi Formula will eventually be weakened and reversed in Doctor Strange, Sorcerer Supreme #14.


 * This issue establishes that it has been five years since Hannibal King first became a vampire.
