Well, minus the unnecessary bells and whistles, IDW are planning on reprinting the full series, by Roy Thomas and Mike Mignola, as a 136 page graphic novel, even stripping away the colours to show off Mignola’s black and white art.
Back then, its was a bold attempt by trading card company, Topps, to stick their feet into the growing – eventually bloated – comic book speculator-driven market of the early 90’s. Unavailable for nearly 25 years, and collected here in gorgeous black and white, Bram Stoker’s Dracula is a book fans have long been clamoring for… and the wait is finally over.Man, I remember this when it first came out as part of a tie-in to Francis Ford Coppola’s stylish adaption if this classic gothic novel of the late 19th century. Considered to be among Mignola’s greatest works, Bram Stoker’s Dracula was his last project before Hellboy launched and was originally released as a full-color four issue adaptation of Francis Ford Coppola’s 1992 movie released by Columbia Pictures (Sony). Mike Mignola is one of the most popular comic book artists of the past thirty years, known for such important works as Batman: Gotham by Gaslight, Cosmic Odyssey, and, of course, Hellboy. The comics adaptation created by Mike Mignola and based on the film from Columbia Pictures (Sony) and Zoetrope Studios returns to print after a decades-long absence. On September 18th, Bram Stoker’s Dracula adapted by Roy Thomas and Mike Mignola will become available once again!
One that never got that treatment was the adaptation of Bram Stoker’s Dracula that Mignola created with writer Roy Thomas. Because of Hellboy’s success and Mignola’s popularity, many if not most of his previous stories have been collected and reprinted over the years. Most folks know Mike Mignola as the creator of Hellboy.
