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.

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 Perez, became DC Comics' biggest hit in years. Wolfman and Perez 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. Industry legend Chris Claremont is best known for his epic sixteen-year run on Uncanny X-Men. Claremont's focus on the themes of prejudice and tolerance struck at the hearts of comics fans, and he built an unparalleled following during the next three decades. Under his pen, the X-Men franchise spawned a vast array of spin-offs, many of them written by Claremont himself. His other credits include Iron Fist, Ms. Marvel, Power Man and Spider-Woman. Claremont has returned to the X-Men universe in New Exiles, GeNext, X-Men Forever, Chaos War- X-Men and Nightcrawler. 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.
