Complete Dracula Announced

By John Freeman on January 25, 2009

US publisher Dynamite have announced the launch of The Complete Dracula, written by Bram Stoker, Leah Moore and John Reppion, with art by Colton Worley and covers by John Cassady.

Issue 1 of the five-issue comic series will go on sale in April, and begin “the complete story of the Lord of the Undead — Dracula!

“For the first time in 112 years the tale that Bram Stoker intended to tell is told (including “Dracula’s Guest”!),” their PR proclaims. “If you thought you knew how it began or how it ends, you were wrong! A five-issue issue odyssey of life, death and the blood that flows within us all!”

In addition to the comic, fully-painted in a rich, moody style by Worley, Moore and Reppion also provide bonus material such as script pages, annotations and samplings of the original text by Bram Stoker.
