Who is Morbius?

Morbius is Marvel's living vampire — scientist Michael Morbius, who attempted to cure a rare blood disease through an experimental procedure involving vampire bats, accidentally transforming himself into a pseudo-vampire with a compulsive thirst for blood. This French Panini edition reprints his Marvel adventures.

A creature of the Bronze Age night, this incarnation of Morbius has haunted the pages of French comics publishing since 1978, brought to life by a remarkable collaborative quartet of Doug Moench, Bill Mantlo, Frank Robbins, and Don Heck. Published under the Panini France banner across an impressive span stretching all the way to 2024, this is a character with real staying power — three of those appearances carry key-issue status, making them genuine prizes for the discerning collector. Sharing pages with the likes of Spider-Man, Iron Man, and Mary Jane Watson across titles including Spider-Man and Strange, this is a figure woven deep into the fabric of Marvel's most beloved adventures as filtered through the French comics tradition.
