Blade: Black & White TPB ReviewI certainly don't feel that BLADE: BLACK AND WHITE is a must-have, as it costs the same as a Marvel Essential with only 1/4 of the page count. It's just a handful of random stories from throughout Blade's vampire-hunting career, unnecessarily reprinted on glossy paper. It's a nice supplement, however, for all the fans who have been going crazy over Marvel's thorough reprinting of Tomb of Dracula in the Essential format.
This book collects black and white material from VAMPIRE TALES #8-9, MARVEL PREVIEW #3 and #6, BLADE: CRESCENT CITY BLUES #1, and MARVEL SHADOWS AND LIGHT #1. For the most part, the stories are general Marvel horror fare: flimsy plots with lead characters who babble incessantly while fighting legions of the undead (and even remarking to themselves that they do it!). The Crescent City Blues story does improve on this a bit, even taking a dig at those earlier stories, but even this one runs low on steam towards the end. But still, as with any Marvel horror comic, the real star is the art, and BLADE: BLACK AND WHITE has impressive art galore: Tony deZuniga's textured fine-line, Jose Ladronn's weird Kirby/Giffen amalgam, and of course, the ultimate Dracula artist Gene Colan, who provides his always beautiful art for two stories, plus the cover. The work of Gene Colan is always worth the price of admission, but I'd say that this book is for TOD fans only.Blade: Black & White TPB OverviewA war is raging, and he has a job to do; for Blade the Vampire Hunter, there are no shades of gray! Now, for the first time ever, the House of Ideas reprints the best of Blade in bold black and white from its legendary '70s-era horror magazines - including Vampire Tales and Marvel Preview! Collecting material from Vampire Tales #8-9, Marvel Preview #3 and #6, Blade: Crescent City Blues #1, and Marvel Shadows and Light #1.
