For centuries, the Dracula haunted generations after generations about a vampire from Transylvania. His mere presence of mesmerizing gaze, bloodsucking bite, and transformations into a bat and wolf that rules the darkness. The name Dracula is one of the most feared names in monster mythology.
Bram Stoker penned the gothic horror novel “Dracula” back in 1897 at the height of horror storytelling in Europe. Decades later, Hungarian-born actor Bela Lugosi played the iconic vampire in Dracula that forever embeds his presence in cinematic history.
Now, Legendary Comics united Bram Stoker’s story and Bela Lugosi’s image into a graphic novel of Dracula.
Here’s the synopsis of the graphic novel:
Bram Stoker. Bela Lugosi. Two names forever bound by Dracula. And for the first time ever, Bram Stoker’s gothic masterpiece is being united with the definitive screen legend, Bela Lugosi, in Legendary Comics’ all-new graphic novel!
In the late 19th Century, Dracula, an ancient Transylvanian vampire, moves to England to find fresh blood and spread his evil contagion. There, he encounters two women, Lucy and Mina, who become the targets of his dark obsession. Aided by a group of brave men, Professor Van Helsing arrives on the scene to take on the Vampire Prince in the ultimate battle between the forces of light and dark!
