“Curse of the Living Vampire!”

Morbius the Living Vampire dominates this January 1980 cover by Al Milgrom, cape spread wide and fangs bared as he looms over a clearly outmatched Spider-Man reeling below him against a rooftop skyline. The stark black background and crackling energy surrounding the vampire make for a genuinely striking composition that sells the threat of "Mayhem Is the Man Called Morbius!" with real conviction. Inside, Bill Mantlo scripts and Sal Buscema pencils the story "Curse of the Living Vampire!" — a creative team well suited to bringing this kind of supernatural street-level menace to life.
