Nightstalkers 05 (Marvel/1992) *(Grade:NEAR MINT) #05 *Cover pencils by Ron Garney, inks by Tom Palmer./ The trio got their start in Tomb Of Dracula series where they hunted Dracula with Quincy Harker, and Rachel Van Helsing. The three formed a detective agency called King, Drake, and Blade, but later changed the name to Borderline Investigations. In the first issue of Nightstalkers, they are manipulated by Doctor Strange into becoming the Nightstalkers. It was revealed to the Nightstalkers at a later time that Strange had gathered them because the Montesi Formula (which had eradicated vampires, and kept more from being created) was weakening. Strange was worried that Dracula would return, and he wanted the Nightstalkers to gain experience battling enemies like Lilin, Hydra, and Bloodstorm before that happened. Doctor Strange would get the Nightstalkers together because they were part of the Nine (The Midnight Sons) which are Earths last chance against the occult. Before getting back together, Blade just got out of a mental institution, Frank Drake was trying to piece his life back together, and Hannibal was fighting against his own blood lust. Together again as the Nightstalkers, they would fight the Lilin Meatmarket but also mistakenly be tricked by Lilith to attack Ghost Rider and Johnny Blaze. **BUY MORE- PAY NO ADDITIONAL SHIPPING WITHIN THE USA!**
