Blade hit the comics scene in the 1970s--a time when horror movies were all the rage and Black cinema was introducing bold new action heroes that defied authority. Blade immediately changed the stakes of Marv Wolfman and Gene Colan’s TOMB OF DRACULA, bringing a sense of unstoppable determination as he pursued Deacon Frost, the vampire that killed his mother. And if a few other vampires died along the way, all the better.
This Omnibus collects, for the first time, Blade’s complete early adventures: from his influential role in TOMB OF DRACULA to his 1970s solo stories and on into his 1983-84 battle against Dracula with Doctor Strange, and, as a new era of vampire hunting dawns in the 1991.
