Hey Daredevilers,
It’s Dan, and with Matt out of town this week, the blog is all mine to write as I see fit. But I’ll probably just follow Matt’s normal format anyway.
So now we know why Doc has been clutching his arm and sweating so profusely. He’s been BITTEN! Edison’s Mother! It’s only a matter of time before the world’s Greatest Man of Science turns into a mindless fish vampire! Will Doc do as Dracula commands, or will he have the strength of will to defy the KING of SUBSYLVANIA?!
Stay tuned for the penultimate page of this chapter of PITCH BLACK DAY! Next week we will check back in with the crew of the Custer to see what their plans are to try to save their friends, Doc McCarver and Deveraux.
As there are only two pages left in this chapter, you may be wondering just what we have in store for the chapter break this time. We were really pleased with the feedback we got on The Lost Chapter of Dracula, and we are now planning to do many more things like this in the future. Well this time we are delving in to the SECRET FILES of SECTION X! It will be all about the clandestine organization that our heroine Abigail Singer works for. Make sure to check it out!
Now Matt will tell you to RSS, Like, and Follow us here every week, but I’m going to go ahead and give you another option as well. Try out Comic Rocket and subscribe to the Daredevils over there. It’s a really cool service that allows you to easily keep track of all the web comics you read.
I would be amiss if I didn’t mention the Sunday Bonus Lunch. I can’t imagine when Evin found the time to write it this week, because we a Fantasy Football party on Sunday, and it took up good portion of our day.
Well, until the next time Matt is on Vacation…

One problem with Drac’s plan; he can’t do the math himself. Dealing with sums of this magnitude, he could well swallow a proposition for a payload that will do little more than strand him well out of cover when the localized blackout dissipates.
Indeed, you are correct.
However, once a man is bitten…
I’m curious how the Nazi’s knew to look for him.
Perhaps they used a time machine, and read DDD also?
I also want to know which of the two villians (Hitler or Dracula) will screw the other over first. Something tells me that dealing with Dracula makes dealing with Stalin look like a walk in the park.
Look for whom, Doc?
If so, though we really haven’t had a chance to explore it yet, the Daredevils are a known quantity in certain circles. There are people who know/know of Dr. McCarver, and know very well what he is capable of.
RETROACTIVE SPOILER ALERT!
Or do you mean, Dracula?
And, if so…WAS it, in fact, the Nazis who found Dracula at the bottom of the ocean or was is someone else?
I meant Dracula, but thanks for answering another fine question.
Oh, check out “The Flying Cloud” if you get the chance.

The focus is on Blimps instead of submarines, but it shares some common threads with DDD. The story (done like an old radio play) is well worth the read, though the illustrations are not quite Danillo.
Heh. After I wrote my first response about Doc, I was like, “Duh, he meant Dracula!”
Anyway, I’ve bookmarked “The Flying Cloud” and will definitely check it out. Thanks!
In all honesty, I’d much rather be bit on the arm by a vampire than the neck. I know Doc’s in a bad way but, really, it could’ve been the neck. Man, I get shivers just thinking about it. Great page guys. I love this story and the way you’re telling it. -v
Dracula has a strict policy of only bitting dudes on the arm, while saving his sweet neck bitting skills for the ladies. So, you can sleep easy, man.
Thanks for your kinds words, Vince!
this does explain a lot though admittedly I’ll still place my bets on doc pulling a miracle and thwarting dracula’s plans at the best possible moment. Besides how does the old saying go about pride and the red hots? Yeah drac’s got too much of the pride!
If anyone could pull something like that off, it would be Doc…
But, as I implied in a comment above, once bitten can ANY man, even one as extraordinary as Doc, defy Dracula’s will?
Only time will tell…
Danger, danger, Incoming Ham!
But seriously, this does not look good for our heroes. The crew had better get a move on, or else!
