Publishing history ''Vampire Tales'' ran 11 issues cover-dated 1973 to June 1975. With sister titles including ''Dracula Lives'', '' Monsters Unleashed'' and '' Tales of the Zombie'', it was published by Marvel Comics' parent company, Magazine Management, and related corporations, under the brand emblem Marvel Monster Group.
