Dracula rises again in one of the most acclaimed Marvel Comics of the 1970s era - and faces off against Marvel's fan favorite vampire-hunting vampire, Blade!

The creative talents of Marv Wolfman, Gene Colan and Tom Palmer made The Tomb of Dracula the must-read comic of the 1970s. Lushly illustrated, beautifully colored and with taut stories that wove together thrilling action with in-depth character subplots, it was everything you could hope for in a comic book. And in this volume so many strands come together: the Doctor Sun saga concludes, Blade finally wreaks vengeance on the man who killed his mother and a resurrected Count Dracula finds an unholy bride who will bear his child. Dracula also crosses paths with Marvel mainstays, including a crossover where his sinks his teeth into Doctor Strange’s neck and a battle with the cosmic power of the Silver Surfer. The Marvel Masterworks, with their stunning new restoration, make these classics look better than ever.

COLLECTING: THE TOMB OF DRACULA (1972) #41-55 and DOCTOR STRANGE (1974) #14
An award-winning writer since 1973, Marv Wolfman succeeded mentor Roy Thomas as Marvel’s editor in chief. Well-remembered for his Tomb of Dracula scripts, he also enjoyed runs on Dr. Strange, Fantastic Four and Nova, among other titles. New Teen Titans, his 1980s collaboration with George Pérez, became DC Comics’ biggest hit in years. Wolfman and Pérez literally rewrote DC history with Crisis on Infinite Earths. He subsequently penned episodes for such animated TV series as G.I. Joe, Transformers and others.

The unique, shadowy style of Gene Colan (1926-2011) most memorably appeared in long stints on Captain America and Daredevil, and all 70 issues of Tomb of Dracula — among the dozens of other Marvel titles he has drawn. His DC work on Detective Comics and Night Force is equally well remembered. During the Golden Age, he drew multiple war stories for Marvel and DC alike. Colan has earned several Eagle Awards and had professional art showings in New York City. His work on Ed Brubaker’s Captain America at the age of 82 drew well-deserved raves.
