Inspector Chelm

Inspector Chelm is a human investigator who appeared in Marvel's Bronze Age horror series, crossing paths with Dracula and the circle of vampire hunters surrounding Quincy Harker and Rachel Van Helsing in a gothic, supernatural world.

Stepping out of the shadowy pages of Marvel's Bronze Age horror classic, Inspector Chelm made his mark in Tomb of Dracula #3 in 1972 — a debut crafted by the legendary team of Archie Goodwin and Gene Colan, whose atmospheric artwork defined one of Marvel's most beloved series. Chelm moves through a world haunted by the Lord of the Undead himself, sharing those gothic pages with Dracula, Quincy Harker, Rachel Van Helsing, and Frank Drake — as distinguished a cast of vampire hunters and monsters as the Bronze Age ever assembled. With appearances spread across Tomb of Dracula, Giant-Size Dracula, and the handsome omnibus collection, this inspector has quietly endured in the catalog for over five decades. Nineteen appearances and a key-issue credit make Chelm a rewarding discovery for any serious collector diving deep into Marvel's rich horror legacy.
