Lianda

Born from the darkly fertile imagination of Roy Thomas and Gene Colan in the pages of Dracula Lives #2 (1973), Lianda is a Bronze Age Marvel creation who stepped into one of the publisher's most atmospheric corners — the gothic, horror-drenched world surrounding Dracula himself, sharing those shadowy pages with the Lord of Vampires, Lord Turac, and other figures of dread. What makes her journey especially intriguing is how her story threads through the mystical side of the Marvel Universe, with her strongest presence felt across Doctor Strange titles and Bizarre Adventures, suggesting a character whose existence bridges horror and sorcery in genuinely compelling ways. Across nearly five decades of Marvel history, Lianda may be a rarity in terms of sheer page count, but for collectors who love the moody, anything-goes spirit of Bronze Age Marvel — where vampires and sorcerers rubbed shoulders without apology — she's exactly the kind of deep-cut discovery worth chasing down.
