Twenty five years ago, Hellboy creator Mike Mignola adapted the Francis Ford Coppola-directed 1992 film Bram Stoker’s Dracula as a four-issue comic series, and IDW Entertainment has just announced that they’ve dug up the currently out of print mini-series from their vault and will be re-releasing it as a hardcover graphic novel!
The 136 page hardcover collection features Mignola’s stunning black and white artwork, and showcases the master creator’s final work before launching Hellboy.
“I cannot tell you what a relief it is to have this book back in print,” said Mignola. “People have been asking about this one for ages—more than any other book of mine—and I honestly didn’t think it was ever going to be possible to see an edition, but here it is. Thank you Scott Dunbier and IDW. No idea how you did it but very glad you did. I’m generally not a fan of my older work (pretty huge understatement there) but I think this one holds up. Despite the fact that I was doing a movie adaptation (which has its own unique set of problems), I think there is some nice drawing and storytelling in here. One of the very few older jobs I’m still pretty proud of.”
Now up for pre-order, the graphic novel will arrive on September 25.
