The first 2 pages are from Tomb of Dracula #52, with the title from #53 pasted over the title of #52.

The changes made to Tomb of Dracula #53 (which starts on page 3 of this comic, but referred to here by the page numbers from the source, #53).
+ Page 1 starts with 2 new panels where the title was removed; 1 is an altered panel 6 from page 2 of #52; the source of the other is unknown.
+ Panels 3 & 4 on page 6 are replaced with 3 panels; page 8, panels 2 & 3; and possibly new material.
+ Page 7 is omitted.
+ Panels 1 & 5 of page 8 are omitted, and panels 6 & 7 are altered.

There are 2 pages of possibly new material replacing the content removed from pages 6, 7 and 8 which tell how Dracula bit Blade's pregnant mother.

General changes: New coloring, Damien Hellstrom's pentagram is removed from his chest.
