Fear #23

Morbius looms over a terrified, fallen figure on a rooftop, his fanged snarl and outstretched claws making the cover tagline — "…And You Are Next!" — feel all too convincing. A smaller inset image captures him in full predatory flight, reinforcing just how relentless Marvel's living vampire could be in 1974. With cover art by Gil Kane and inks by Tom Palmer, and a creative team inside including Steve Gerber and P. Craig Russell, this issue of Adventure into Fear delivers the brooding, street-level horror that made Morbius such a compelling anti-hero of his era.
