This will mark the character’s third solo title for Marvel. Morbius, also known as the Living Vampire, was created by Roy Thomas and Gil Kane in 1971 in the pages of The Amazing Spider-Man. The launch of the new title will coincide with the release of a movie starring Morbius played by actor Jared Leto, set for release in July of 2020 (see “’Morbius’ Gets Release Date”).
