Looking for story from annual

Another question on the site looking for a story from an annual:

"A gothic horror comic story with a guy who was lured away from a dark ?carpark by the enticing movement nearby of mysterious ?vampires that he followed & who then ambushed him & he disappeared. His girlfriend Cathy looks for him &, to her horror, encounters her boyfriend as a ?vampire himself with the others. Fabulous graphics (colours of purple & black from memory) , scary story as a child,


It was definitely in a colour annual with photos. Pretty sure it would have been either June or Diana annual around 1976 – 1978. There may have been a tiny colour photo in the annual of a girl sitting on a rock on a beach with a heading/story called “Just Justin and me”."

I don't have any June and Diana annuals from that time, does it sound familiar to anyone else?

Haven't seen it, but I think a Diana annual is far more likely to have it. I very much doubt June would run anything like that in her annuals.

I can check my Diana Annuals and come back to you, but I also have a suspicion it may have come from a Pink Annual. I no longer have them, but I scanned the stories to keep.

The story is Skeletons In The Cupboard, a Man In Black story on pages 104-110 of the 1976 Diana annual. Just Justin And Me with the photo of the girl sitting on the rock is on page 75.

Thought it would be a Diana annual.
