"Amazing Spider-Man #101," released in 1971 by Marvel Comics, is a landmark issue that introduces the character Morbius, the Living Vampire. Crafted by writer Roy Thomas and artist Gil Kane, the narrative unfolds as Peter Parker (Spider-Man) grapples with the unintended consequences of Gwen Stacy's father using a serum to cure himself. The serum, however, transforms him into the vampiric Morbius. Spider-Man finds himself entangled in a nocturnal clash with this new and formidable adversary, blending horror elements with superhero action. The issue is notable for breaking away from traditional villain archetypes and incorporating a more supernatural and macabre theme into Spider-Man's rogues' gallery, contributing to the character's enduring popularity.
