Item Description
They probably didn't know he would turn out to be a bigger star than DRACULA when they crafted this story . . but Marv Wolfman and Gene Colan could take much satisfaction in how their creation of Eric Brooks - better known as BLADE, the VAMPIRE KILLER - went on to rock the box office in 1998, 2002 and 2004 with his big-screen exploits!Here is the issue that introduced BLADE in 1973, pairing the talents of Wolfman and Colan in creating an issue full of tension and dread! "His Name Is...Blade" starts off with a Vampire attack on a young couple on a remote dock, who are saved from the undead trio by a mysterious figure hurling wooden knives. It is BLADE, a shadowy figure in league with vampire-hunter Quincy Harker and his daughter.
The scene then shifts to a party of privileged elites aboard a millionaire's yacht, where DRACULA is the guest of honor, pretending only to be a descendent of the famous vampire. He manages to subject the party guests to his thrall, and as he is about to convert them all, BLADE arrives aboard the yacht! A battle rages back and forth between DRACULA and BLADE until the King of the Vampires takes flight as a bat and causes the yacht to explode! Are all on board lost? Heh heh heh!
This 48 year-old key Marvel copy of TOMB OF DRACULA #10 is in exceptionally nice condition - no stress lines, bent corners or toning - the cover still has its gloss and the pages are near-white with bright colors. Recent market activity for this issue has EXPLODED -- Fair Market Value for a copy in as nice condition as this one is $1650 . . . however, we think you'll like our down-to-earth price of just $1300, coupled with our FREE shipping!
Don't let this one flap away into the night -- It's the only one available here on HipComic, and offered more reasonably than anywhere else!
