Marvel's 1997 giveaway issue launches the Daywalker's solo spotlight with a striking photo cover — Blade stands cool and unflinching in dark shades and a tactical leather jacket, sword raised and gleaming against a fiery, hellish red backdrop. It's a bold, cinematic presentation that signals serious intent for the vampire hunter's solo outing. Inside, writer Marv Wolfman and artist Gene Colan — a team with deep roots in Blade's history — bring the story "The Final Glory of Deacon Frost" to life, inked by Tom Palmer and colored by Michele Wolfman.
