Mordecai Pendragon

Conjured into existence by the singular Tom Sutton in the pages of Vampirella #11 in 1971, Mordecai Pendragon is a Bronze Age creation who found his home in the darkly atmospheric world of Harris Comics' horror universe. Over a remarkable span stretching across four decades — from 1971 all the way to 2013 — he's kept some genuinely dangerous company, sharing pages with Vampirella herself, Adam Van Helsing, Pantha, and Hemorrhage across titles like Vengeance of Vampirella and the Vampirella: Silver Anniversary Collection. His 13 catalogued appearances may be selective, but that kind of longevity in horror comics speaks to a character with genuine staying power in a genre that doesn't suffer forgettable figures gladly. For collectors who love the rich, gothic tradition of Vampirella's world and want to dig deeper than the marquee names, Mordecai Pendragon is exactly the kind of discovery that makes hunting through back issues so rewarding.
