Dracula: The Undying King and the Birth of Marvel Horror | Marvel Echoes Podcast Ep. 29
Description
In Episode 29 of Marvel Echoes Resonance, we open the coffin on the most iconic villain of all time: Dracula. We explore how Marvel took a public domain character and transformed him into a cornerstone of their universe, starting with his 15th-century origin as the brutal warlord Vlad Tepes and his transformation into the Lord of Vampires.
From the landmark 1970s series Tomb of Dracula that introduced Blade the Vampire-Hunter, to his modern status as the literal King of the Vampire Nation, we unravel the layers of a character defined by his unyielding arrogance and aristocratic power.
Whether you're a die-hard horror fan or just curious about Marvel's supernatural side, this episode will show you how one character's legacy spawned an entire genre of heroes and monsters.
