Hannibal King

A private detective turned vampire against his will, Hannibal King refuses to feed on the living, straddling the line between human and monster. His relentless self-control and investigative skills eventually drew him into alliances with other supernatural hunters.

Hannibal King stepped out of the Bronze Age shadows in 1974, conjured by the legendary team of Marv Wolfman and Gene Colan in the pages of Tomb of Dracula #25 — one of Marvel's most atmospheric and celebrated horror runs. Over fifty years he's kept remarkable company, sharing adventures with the likes of Blade, Eric Brooks, Frank Drake, Rachel Van Helsing, and even the Lord of the Undead himself, Dracula, making his corner of the Marvel Universe as dangerous as it is compelling. His appearances span Tomb of Dracula, Marvel Comics Presents, and the Blade series, marking him as a genuine fixture of Marvel's horror landscape across five decades. For fans of the darker, more gothic side of the House of Ideas, Hannibal King is exactly the kind of richly atmospheric character worth tracking down.
