Rom #54

In "The Blood-Trail!", Rom and Starshine race to stop a hidden network of Wraiths preying on humans, their sinister attacks pushing SHIELD’s Esper agents to their limits—until Dr. Strange arrives to lend his mystical aid. With the agents guiding Rom to a hospital teeming with Wraiths, a desperate race begins as Rick Jones prepares for his first blood transfusion, unaware the life-saving blood is already poisoned. Written by Bill Mantlo and illustrated by Sal Buscema, with inks by Mel Candido and Kelley Jones, and colors by Ben Sean, this 1984 Marvel classic features a cover by Bill Sienkiewicz.
