Preludes and Nightmares (Morbius)

Sink your teeth into the early years of Morbius, the Living Vampire! Dr. Michael Morbius made his (bite) mark on the Marvel Universe when a doomed experiment left him with a vampiric lust for blood. And his disturbing debut couldn't have come at a worse time for Spider-Man - who recently grew four extra arms! Can Spidey find a way to return to normal when all six of his hands are full dealing with Morbius and the Lizard? The Human Torch and the X-Men help Spidey battle the Living Vampire - but Morbius soon sets off on his own, seeking redemption for his past ad a cure for his cursed affliction! Plus: a modern-day tale explores Michael's youth - and the fateful experiment that changed him forever!
