Description

Read the stories that created the legend! Blade burst onto the comics scene in the 1970s, a time when horror movies were all the rage and Black cinema was introducing bold new action heroes who defied authority. He immediately raised the stakes in Marv Wolfman and Gene Colan’s Tomb of Dracula, bringing unstoppable determination as he hunted the vampire who killed his mother — and dispatching a few others along the way. This Epic Collection presents Blade’s complete early adventures — from his influential role in Tomb of Dracula and his 1970s solo stories in Marvel’s black-and-white magazine titles to his final vengeance on Deacon Frost and his 1980s collaboration with Doctor Strange to end the vampire menace once and for all.COLLECTING: Tomb of Dracula (1972) #10, #12-14, #24, #30, #41-43, #51, #58; Fear (1970) #24; Marvel Preview (1975) #3; Doctor Strange (1974) #61-62, #67; material from Tomb of Dracula (1972) #17-19, #21, #44-50, #52-53; Vampire Tales (1973) #8-9; Marvel Preview (1975) #8; Marvel Comics Presents (1988) #64 Written by Marv Wolfman with Chris Claremont, Steve Gerber, Roger Stern & Marcus McLaurinPenciled by Gene Colan with Tony Dezuniga, Rico Rival, P.

Frequently asked questions

What are the policies on pre-orders?

Superhero Empire product screening strives for products to be roughly 9.2 NM- or better based on our assessment unless otherwise stated (item grades are subjective). Minor manufacturing defects may be present. Our goal is to get everyone the best quality book possible but limited supply from distributors may prevent us from our dream of getting everyone 9.8 candidates every time.

Preview artwork may differ from actual comic cover when produced by the publisher. Products ordered prior to release are allocated and may have limited availability. If damages or allocation result in a shortage of inventory, customers will be notified and refunded.

Purchasing of retailer incentive or exclusive covers without meeting the incentive requirement will result in product cancellation and a refund will be issued.
