AbilitiesAndrew Bennett has the powers of a Vampire. He can transform into mist, a bat, and a wolf and he has superior strength far beyond that of a normal man. However, he also has the weaknesses of a vampire, as well. He can be killed by sunlight, silver, and crusifixes, and he is cursed to drink the blood of the living.


I...Vampire was a 24 issue series that appeared in House of Mystery between 1981 and 1983. It originally started as a back up story among HoMs 3 story format but soon became so popular that it eventually overtook the title on the cover. Even I...Vampire's finale was almost book length.


Story

In 1591, after being turned into a Vampire himself, Bennett turned his lover Mary Stewart into a vampire, and she became corrupted by the power. She took the name Mary Queen of Blood and created a group of Vampires called The Blood Red Moon bent on taking over the world. The series followed Bennett into the modern day as he tried to undo his mistake and take down Mary and The Blood Red Moon.


He was helped by his two companions Debrah Dancer a beautiful young woman who Bennett saved from Mary at Woodstock (and was also his girlfriend) and Dmitri Mishken a Russian man whom Bennett had rescued from Mary when Mishken was a child.


To try and keep his humanity, Bennett made a vow to only drink the blood of animals and bottled human blood (which created a subtext of alcholism)
