About this Collection

This collection presents the complete 2020 'Morbius: Preludes and Nightmares' miniseries, written by Vita Ayala and drawn by Farid Karami. The story delves into the tragic origins of Dr. Michael Morbius, exploring his transformation into a living vampire and the psychological horror that follows his desperate quest for a cure. It serves as a modern reimagining of the character's classic backstory, setting the stage for his darker adventures in the Marvel Universe.

"A Monster Called... Morbius!" delivers a gripping early chapter in the vampire-scientist's tale, written by Gerry Conway and brought to life by Ross Andru’s dynamic art, with Frank Giacoia’s inks adding depth to every panel. When Morbius’ fiancée turns to the Fantastic Four for help, the Human Torch and Spider-Man track him down—only to face a creature caught between man and monster. The cover by InHyuk Lee captures the tension with striking precision.
