History
Darla August was a servant girl who worked for Martin Bellis. When he found her embracing his son, Anthony, he flew into a rage and threw her out of the house into a raging snowstorm. She froze to death, but returned as some sort of vampire. She lured Martin out into the snow, where he perished in the same fashion as she did. He became the same sort of creature as her, and the two of them repeatedly tried to lure other members of the Bellis family out to their deaths.
Years later, she succeeded in luring out Henry Bellis, Martin's grandson, who also perished in the snow. He was found with Darla's cold handprints on his face.[2]Notes
- Darla August was created by August Derleth in the story "The Drifting Snow" (1939). The story was adapted by Marvel Comics in Vampire Tales #4 (1974).
