About this Collection

This volume collects early Marvel horror and supernatural tales from the 1970s, including stories featuring Man-Thing, Dracula, and Werewolf by Night, as well as other macabre adventures from the era. Presented in Marvel's black-and-white Essentials format, it reprints issues from titles like Adventure into Fear, Tomb of Dracula, and Werewolf by Night, offering a broad overview of the publisher's darker output during that period.

"A Woman Possessed!" from Essential Marvel Horror #1 (2006) delivers a chilling tale rooted in mystery and the occult, as student Christine Sandt is drawn into a dark enigma after receiving an unsettling tarot card in the mail. With haunting art by Sal Buscema and inks by Al McWilliams, and lettering by John Costanza, the story unfolds through the uneasy journey of Christine, her advisor Katherine Reynolds, and a mysterious figure named Daimon as they seek answers from a local gypsy. The cover, a striking piece by Gil Kane, captures the eerie tone of the tale, setting the stage for a suspenseful exploration of fate and the unknown.
