About this Collection

This volume collects the early issues of Marvel's classic horror series, reprinting Tomb of Dracula #1-25 in black and white. The stories introduce the titular vampire as a complex, brooding antagonist, while also featuring the debut of the vampire-hunting Blade. This collection captures the gothic atmosphere and mature storytelling that made the series a standout of the 1970s Marvel horror line.

"Dracula" kicks off Marvel’s Essential Tomb of Dracula series with a chilling tale of transformation and betrayal, as the Count turns Ilsa into a vampire—only for her to face a horrifying truth about her new existence. Written by Archie Goodwin and illustrated with haunting precision by Gene Colan, with inks by Tom Palmer and letters by John Costanza, this 2004 issue delivers gothic dread in every panel. The cover, a striking collaboration by John Buscema, Marie Severin, and Neal Adams, captures the moment of Ilsa’s dark awakening.
