Brooks Range

A variation of this storyline was integrated into '' Spider-Man: The Animated Series'' by John Semper in 1995 ahead of the first ''Blade'' (1998) film being made, adapted from an early script for the film by David S. Goyer, and was ultimately integrated into comics as well in 1999, retconning Blade's original origin; Blade's redesigned costume was also integrat ...
