Vlad Dracula

Marvel's Vlad Dracula is the immortal Lord of the Undead, the legendary vampire king whose centuries-old history of conquest and dark power makes him a formidable presence in Marvel's modern horror landscape, clashing with figures like Black Cat.

Marvel's Vlad Dracula stalks the Modern Age with unmistakable menace, debuted in 2019's Black Cat #1 by Jed MacKay and Travel Foreman — a creative team that clearly had grand designs for the Lord of the Undead within Marvel's contemporary landscape. Over a compact but compelling run stretching into the mid-2020s, he's carved out a presence across titles like Dracula: Blood Hunt and Blood Hunt: Red Band, suggesting this incarnation has serious stakes in Marvel's broader horror mythology. He keeps rarefied company, sharing pages with the likes of Spider-Man, Daredevil, and Captain America, which speaks to a character operating at the highest levels of the Marvel Universe. With only ten catalog appearances, every issue counts — this is a Dracula worth tracking down for collectors who love their horror with a thoroughly modern Marvel edge.
