About the character
Eric Brooks — Blade — is a half-human, half-vampire vampire hunter who brought horror comics into the mainstream. His first appearance in Tomb of Dracula #10 is a key Bronze Age book that shot up in demand after the 1998 film.
What is a first appearance worth?
Tomb of Dracula #10 has solid collector demand. A presentable raw copy in the UK typically attracts an offer in the low to mid three figures; high-grade or CGC-slabbed examples can push into four figures. Restored copies are worth less but still very much wanted — we buy across all grades and conditions.
