About the series
Marvel’s Vampire Tales (1973–1975) was a horror anthology series that roamed the night across 11 issues, spotlighting the company’s growing stable of blood-drinking antiheroes. The book gave prime real estate to Morbius the Living Vampire and introduced Blade and Satana to a wider audience, with scripts by Doug Moench, Tony Isabella, and Gardner Fox, and moody artwork from Ernie Chua, Esteban Maroto, and Howard Chaykin. It stands as a key artifact of Marvel’s 1970s horror boom, where supernatural protagonists were reimagined as conflicted outcasts rather than outright monsters.
