The Human Torch #37
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Vampire Tale!", the Human Torch and Toro face a chilling mystery when they encounter alien bat people who claim that Earth has become a refuge for their exiled vampires—criminals banished long ago when the planet lacked intelligent life. Now that humans have risen, the bat people are returning to reclaim their outcasts, determined to relocate them rather than destroy them. Written by Joe Gill and illustrated by Carl Burgos and Dick Ayers, with cover art by Carl Burgos, this 1954 issue blends sci-fi and horror in a tale where the line between predator and prisoner blurs.
In "Vampire Tale!" from The Human Torch #37, the Human Torch and Toro stumble upon a group of alien bat people from Psi Centauri who reveal a startling truth: vampires are not native to Earth, but rather exiled criminals from their own world. When the bat people learned that Earth now hosts intelligent life being hunted by these vampires, they arrived to reclaim their outcasts—without killing them, but instead banishing them to a planet without sentient beings.
