Notes/trivia
- Though Fred Jones calls the monster "Nosferatu" and Velma Dinkley calls him "Dracula", those are just classic vampire names. The vampire has no official name.
Reception
Robbie Busch's "Texas Tooth-Step" is the best of the three stories. This time the plot makes sense. The monster's genuinely creepy, though his greed tips his fang too quickly making him even less of a figure of fear. The intricacies of his scheme stretch the crime farther from the formula of mere real estate fraud. This chap will be speaking to the federales. The inker, this time Busch, again alters the look of Joe Staton's pencils, but you can see his intent beneath the odd yet able embellishment. [1]
