Dracula the Graphic Novel: Original Text - Hardcover

by Bram Stoker (Author), Jason Cobley (Adapted by), Staz Johnson (Illustrator)

A full-color graphic novel adaptation of Bram Stoker's Dracula, pairing authentic text and dialogue with dramatic illustrations for classroom study and independent reading.

"I went down into the vaults. There lay the Count! He was either dead or asleep, I could not say which -- for the eyes were open and stony but without the glassiness of death."

The classic gothic horror story is presented in a totally engaging way through immensely powerful illustrations, while staying true to the original prose novel through the use of authentic text and dialogue.

This Original Text edition supports classroom study, independent reading, and guided discussion while preserving Stoker's original language and gothic atmosphere.

This title has been moderately and sympathetically abridged from the original text to fit within the graphic novel format. Despite that, all of the events of the book are represented in every version -- it's only the speech and captions that change.

Jonathan Harker's business trip to Transylvania, to advise Count Dracula on the purchase of English property, soon turns into a living nightmare. Locked in Castle Dracula, Harker believes he will never return home to be with his beloved Mina. He heroically escapes, but is quickly dragged back into the Count's evil world, as he becomes involved with Van Helsing's plot to destroy the Prince of Darkness and his "un-dead" - for the benefit of all mankind.
Bram Stoker's classic vampire tale is one of the greatest horror stories ever written. It first appeared in 1897 and rapidly gained momentum with Victorian readers. Its popularity grew through plays, further tales and later with movies, to the extent that the story and characters have become part of our culture. Now, using powerful, dynamic and dramatic artwork by the wonderfully talented Staz Johnson, we bring you an authentic adaptation of Stoker's masterpiece in this full color graphic novel, for a reading experience you will never forget.
