Dr. Heinrich Mortte

Born into the shadowy Bronze Age corridors of Marvel horror, Dr. Heinrich Mortte made his debut in the legendary Tomb of Dracula #8 (1973), conjured by the masterful team of Marv Wolfman and Gene Colan. That series remains one of Marvel's most celebrated horror runs, and Mortte shares its pages with none other than Dracula himself, alongside the likes of Rachel Van Helsing and Taj Nital — as distinguished a cast of gothic adventurers as Bronze Age comics ever assembled. His appearances stretch across Tomb of Dracula, Dracula Lives, and the prestige Marvel Masterworks collection, meaning he's been revisited by fans and archivists alike across nearly five decades. A rare figure with a small but atmospheric footprint, Dr. Heinrich Mortte is a genuine piece of Marvel horror history worth hunting down.
