Description
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.
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!
Written by Marv Wolfman with Chris Claremont, Steve Gerber, Roger Stern, and Marcus McLaurin.
Art by Gene Colan with Tony Dezuniga, Rico Rival, P. Craig Russell, Steve Leialoha, Dan Green, and Malcolm Davis.
