Dracula - both the legendary blood-thirsty vampire and his historic inspiration, Vlad The Impaler - has terrified and fascinated the world via a myriad of films and books ever since Bram Stoker's original 1897 novel.
Tales of the vampiric Prince of Darkness have been adapted to every format including a number of graphic novels. But just as Stoker's 1897 novel ever holds its historic place, so too does the original Dracula graphic novel. The premier, 1966 graphic adaptation of Stoker's classic was edited and packaged as a paperback by legendary Creepy magazine founding editor, Russ 'Unca' Creepy' Jones.
Creepy launched as a full-sized, uncensored black and white horror comics magazine in 1964. It ran, most-famously adorned with covers by Frank Frazetta, for near 300 issues over two decades, spawning a tsunami of imitators and competing horror magazine lines including from Marvel.
Dracula: The Original Graphic Novel makes a surprisingly tastefully terrifying addition to every library and horror fan's bookshelf.
