In his first appearance in the March 1963 issue of Tales of Suspense, as written by Stan Lee and his brother Larry Lieber, and illustrated by Kirby and Don Heck, Stark was inspired by Howard Hughes in his Spruce Goose phase: titan of industry, crackerjack engineer-inventor, indefatigable wooer of Hollywood actresses.

Dracula (Gary Oldman) is a warrior-wooer impaled on the cross of his love; he must track his obsession until he is released from it. His misery gives him mesmeric mastery. The wretched Renfield (Tom Waits -- terrific) bays to do Dracula's bidding. Flowers wilt at the count's passage, and maidens burn at his touch. A young woman's tears turn to pearls in his hand...
