This series begins as the mysterious sorcerer Baron Winter assembles his team to take on an occult evil. But can the granddaughter of Dracula's greatest foe, a powerful parapsychologist and a timelost warrior from the court of King David tackle these threats?

The original 14-issue series NIGHT FORCE, written by comics icon Marv Wolfman (CRISIS ON INFINITE EARTHS, NEW TEEN TITANS) and pencilled by the equally legendary Gene Colan (BATMAN, Howard the Duck) is collected here for the first time, along with the charactersÕ first appearance from NEW TEEN TITANS. In the oldest part of Washington, D.C., there sits a vast old mansion with a back door that opens to a small, ordinary gardenÑbut not always. There are times when the garden simply isnÕt there, and the door instead leads to eighteenth-century Paris, or feudal England, or a 1930s carnival. Inside the house lives the reclusive, seemingly ageless aristocrat Baron Winters. He sits out of sight inside his mansion alongside his pet leopard, pulling the strings to bring together a handpicked team of extraordinary individualsÑdown-on-his-luck tabloid journalist Jack Gold, parapsychology researcher Donovan Caine, and Vanessa Van Helsing, granddaughter of DraculaÕs greatest foe. Known as the Night Force, the group fights evil whereverÑand wheneverÑBaron Winters sends them.
