And if a few other vampires died along the way, all the better! This Omnibus collects, for the first time, Blade's complete early from his influential role in TOMB OF DRACULA to his 1970s solo stories and his climactic battle against Dracula alongside Doctor Strange!

Haben wir David S. Goyer den Blade (1998) zu verdanken? Die Origins-Geschichten sind ja schrecklich. In den 70ern war er eher ein Shaft-Verschnitt. Die Pflöcke waren nicht ausreichend; man musste sie zu Messern schnitzen, und Dracula ist ständig wieder auferstanden, weil Vampire nicht zerbröseln, sondern mit einem Messer im Herzen vergraben werden und irgendein Trottel es wieder herausgezogen hat. In den 90ern war er einfach ein Arsch. Und es gibt kein einziges Heft, das seinen Namen trägt. Er tritt eigentlich ständig nur in anderen Geschichten auf, hauptsächlich in "Tomb of Dracula" und "Vampire Tales". Also danke, Goyer, für die vielen Verbesserungen und dafür, dass du daraus eine anständige Figur gemacht hast.
