All-Action Classics No. 1: Dracula

by Bram Stoker, Ben Caldwell (Produced by), Michael Mucci, Bill Halliar (Illustrator)

Overview

Before the dozens of night stalkers slain by Buffy, there was the first and the best: Dracula. And now everyone's favorite bloodsucker is back, and captured in a thrillingly told, spine-tingling graphic novel. Originally written by Bram Stoker in 1897, Dracula gave the world one of literature's most compelling characters. Michael Mucci translates the tale and Ben Caldwell adds action-packed images-with meticulous attention paid to the finer details in each piece of art, from facial expressions to the historical accuracy of costuming, architecture, and heraldry. Young readers will love it.

Editorial Reviews

Praise for the first edition of All-Action Classics: Dracula
 
“Action-packed and full of the thrills and chills expected of Gothic literature, this adaptation is a fine way to introduce reluctant teen readers to a worthy classic. With fluidity and stylized flair, Caldwell’s beautiful art, reminiscent of Don Bluth’s, aptly captures the mood of the tale, shifting effortlessly between muted somber tones and vivid splashes of color.” —Booklist
