  • The first issue opens at then end of October 1897, just six months after the first publication of Bram Stoker's novel Dracula. In a narrative device that will be repeated throughout the rest of the series, this issue uses letters written by Dracula which retell the events that spawned the century-long rivalry between himself and fellow vampire Spike. Dracula is enamored by a Romani sorceress named Magda and does everything he can to convince her to join him as a vampire. One day, Dracula discovers that Magda and her entire clan has been slaughtered, and quickly identifies the killers as the vampires Spike, Drusilla, and Darla. The setting shifts to a bookstore wherein Spike and Drusilla discuss and ridicule a signed copy of Dracula, which Drusilla asks Spike to purchase. He pays eleven pounds for the novel, a reoccurring point of contention for Spike in both the comics and the Buffy episode "Buffy vs. Dracula." Meanwhile, Dracula successfully hypnotizes Darla, and takes her to his home so that she can become his bride. Spike and Drusilla arrive in order to save their friend, and Spike attempts to fight Dracula. However, Dracula temporarily succeeds, and, while Spike runs from the home, Dracula takes the two women with him in his carriage. Spike discovers Dracula's location, and incites the local townspeople into an angry mob who attack Dracula and his mansion, as Spike takes the women and flees.
