MORBIUS LIVING VAMPIRE #1

MARVEL COMICS
(W) Joe Keatinge (A) Richard Elson (CA) Gabriele Dell'Otto
Morbius....the hunted, haunted fugitive.
Morbius...the dead souled scientist.
Morbius...the Living Vampire.
Somewhere inside Doctor Michael Morbius is a good man who just needs a second chance. After escaping from The Raft in Amazing Spider-Man 699.1, Morbius is scraping desperately through each day trying to carve out a life in a world that has turned its back on him. However his redemption...may be worse than his sin.
NOW Morbius returns in this long-awaited ongoing series, where the line between hero and villain becomes brutally and bloodily blurred.
