Missing dialogue

 * When Spike vs Dracula #1 was originally released, due to an error in editing/printing, page 21 was missing its dialogue. The missing text was revealed at Peter David's official sitein April 2006. The missing text is as follows:


 * PANEL A: (Spike stalks the pub, looking as fearsome as he ever has. The people cringe back.)


 * SPIKE 1: Because our lord and master, Count Dracula, is living up on the mansion on the hill!


 * SPIKE 2: Yeah, that's right! The head vampire himself!


 * SPIKE 3: You thought he was just a pretend bloke in a book?


 * PANEL B: (He leans toward them, shouting.)


 * SPIKE 4: Think again!


 * PANEL C: (People cringe back as Spike's shadow is cast over them, his arms spread wide. Only Spike's shadow is in the shot; Spike is off panel, casting the shadow.)


 * SPIKE 5: This is going to be a vampire town in no time! Because as long as the Count's in residence, everything's ducky!


 * SPIKE 6: Because he knows that you people wouldn't have the stones to...oh, I dunno...


 * PANEL D: (Reverse angle so that Spike, who is now near the door, is pointing at them.)


 * SPIKE 7: Form an angry mob and go storming his place! 


 * SPIKE 8: Right now!


 * SPIKE 9: Right this very minute! With pitchforks and flaming arrows and torches.


 * SPIKE 10: But you won't! 'Cause you're spineless!


 * PANEL E: (Closer on Spike, tossing off that British obscene gesture of his with the two fingers.)


 * SPIKE 11: So there!
