Tomb of Dracula #12 - CGC Grade 8.5

Tomb of Dracula #12 from Marvel Comics (September 1973) features a legendary creative team: Marv Wolfman's compelling story paired with the dynamic artwork of Gene Colan and Tom Palmer, with Frank Brunner and Tom Palmer on cover duties. This issue marks the highly sought-after 2nd appearance of Blade, a character who would become central to Marvel's supernatural universe.

Graded CGC 8.5 with white page quality, this copy reflects careful preservation over five decades. The Universal label certification, dated August 5, 2026, documents the book's condition with noted spine stress lines and a tear with crease on the top of the front cover—minor wear consistent with its grade that speaks to its authentic vintage character.

A cornerstone piece for Dracula and Blade collectors alike, this book combines significant character history with the artistic excellence that defined 1970s Marvel horror comics.
