Blade is best approached as a screen interpretation of the character’s foundations rather than a panel-for-panel adaptation. Start with Tomb of Dracula #10, #13, #25, then compare it with Blade: The Vampire-Hunter #1. Reading the references alongside the movie makes it easier to see what the filmmakers retained, combined or reinvented for the screen.
Tomb of Dracula #10, #13, #25
Connection: Character/origin; original plot
