As Halloween looms this month we're going to get into some fun characters that are sure to spook and startle; beginning with Dr. Michael Morbius, the man who would better be known as Morbius, the Living Vampire.
Morbius caused problems for Spider-Man before becoming the anti-hero he is today. Turns out it's hard not to root for a "good" vampire.
Here are some of our favorite frightful Morbius collectibles.

Morbius' first appearance is a great one, with a killer cover by Gil Kane and smack dab in the middle of a great Spider-Man run. It will run you about $100 on eBay for one in decent shape.
