Announced last year, Legendary Comics has partnered with the Lugosi Estate, art director/co-editor Kerry Gammill and artist El Garing to faithfully adapt Bram Stoker's Dracula as a graphic novel featuring the likeness of Bela Lugosi.
The graphic novel's cover art has been revealed ahead of its October 6th release and can be seen below.
"For the first time ever Bram Stoker’s gothic masterpiece is being united with the definitive screen Dracula, Bela Lugosi, in an 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!"
"Bela Lugosi created his unique portrayal of Count Dracula on the Broadway stage and has become a cultural icon for his performance in the 1931 film," said Lynne Lugosi Sparks. "This graphic novel beautifully answers the question: What would Lugosi’s performance look like in a direct interpretation of Bram Stoker’s novel? We believe Legendary Comics has proven what fans already know—Bela Lugosi is Dracula."
The Dracula graphic novel was adapted by Robert Napton.
