DRACULA BOOK 03: THE COUNT TP (9781506754611)

Dracula arrives in London with plans to take over the city with bloody terror, and right away begins to pursue wealth and blood alike. But his peculiar customs won't go unnoticed by the people of London for long.Following the massive success of Book One-The Impaler and Book Two: The Brides, Matt Wagner and Kelley Jones continue their story between the lines of Dracula in this third graphic novel volume!"One of the distinctive aspects of Stoker's original novel is that it's epistolary... told exclusively in the form of journal entries, letters of correspondence and news articles. The only voice missing from these various narrations is the most crucial one of all... Dracula himself! So our version of these events is narrated by Dracula himself... from inside the mind of an unrepentant monster. As Kelley said, this volume was the most challenging in regards to accuracy as the events of the original novel are well-recorded, analyzed and annotated. And Kelley has absolutely brought his A+ game to this narrative. If you thought his work of BOOKS I and II was spectacular, wait'll you see how he brings Dracula to live (er... undeath) on the foggy streets of Victorian London! I'll say it again... this is the story that Kelley Jones was born to draw! And I'm the lucky bastard who got to write it!"This 136-page graphic novel explores Dracula's first weeks in London and his plot to rule the city from the inside out, no matter how much bloodshed it takes.
