THE COMPLETE DRACULA #1

Written by Bram Stoker, Leah Moore and John Reppion, art by Colton Worley, covers by John Cassady.

Dynamite presents an unprecedented comic book series that tells 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"!). 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!

This fully painted series features a massive 32 pages of story and art per issue, each page fully-painted in a rich, moody style by Worley, all under covers by modern master John Cassaday! Moore and Reppion also provide bonus material such as script pages, annotations and samplings of the original text by Bram Stoker!

40 pages, $4.99.

At last we can talk about this project! We have been working on The Complete Dracula since late 2007 and the finished scripts add up to over 120,000 words (which isn't all that far behind the 166,000-ish words of the original text really). It's been a mammoth undertaking but we have really enjoyed it and can't wait for people to see what Colton has done with the artwork.

Here's to the year of the vampire!
