(W) LEAH MOORE, JOHN REPPION (A) COLTON WORLEY Dynamite presents an unprecedented comic book series that tells the complete story of the Lord of the Undead--Dracula! For the first time in 112 years the tale that Bram Stoker intended to tell is told (including "Dracula's Guest"!). If you thought you knew how it began or how it ends, you were wrong! Writers John Reppion and Leah Moore are joined by painter Colton Worley for a 5 issue odyssey of life, death, and the blood that flows within us all! This fully painted series features a massive 32 pages of story and art per issue, each page fully-painted in a rich, moody style by Worley, all under covers by modern master John Cassaday! Moore and Reppion also provide bonus material such as script pages, annotations and samplings of the original text by Bram Stoker! Date Available: 05/20/2009 BONUS REVIEW by GARY OWENS  I’m all for making graphic books out of classic literature. I had strong interest in this one, since in middle school, while reading the actual novel for class, I got a hold of an illustrated Dracula. Made it a whole lot easier. This first issue zooms through the first five chapters, which seemed ambitious…too ambitious, as it turns out. I was lost, initially, on why Harker visited Dracula, and the flashbacks didn’t help. And the relations of Lucy, Mina, and Dr. Seward to Harker were equally unclear. Well drawn, and terrifying, it reminded me, towards the end of the issue, of the best parts of the novel. I wanted to have to draw less on my previous read of the novel, however. I give it 4 out of 10 Grahams VERY FINE/NEAR MINT
