Bram Stoker's Dracula Starring Bela Lugosi by Robert Place Napton

I still recommend giving this a chance, though! There are a few alterations here and there, partly to condense the story and partly to give the dear Count more screen-time (rightly so!) I can hear Lugosi's voice whenever I read his lines and it's incredible! That said, several scenes change rather abruptly, and some crucial scenes in the book seem almost glossed over I wonder if someone unfamiliar with Stoker's novel may get a little confused. Speaking of the narrative, I think it stays true enough to the novel.

This is his book, his performance, and the source material is merely a backdrop. This isn't simply an adaption of Stoker's novel using Lugosi's face: every action and expression, every word spoken by the Count - even his mannerisms are all presented as if Lugosi himself had put it together. Lugosi's likeness seals the deal I genuinely felt as though he'd come back from the dead. The art is mesmerizing, capturing the feel of a 1930s film with its crisp black and white illustrations. A must-have for any fan of vampires, vintage horror and of course, Bela Lugosi <3 This is a must own for Dracula and Bela Lugosi fans alike! You have to see it to believe it!!! Although Bram Stoker's Count Dracula looks nothing like the actor Bela Lugosi, it's still fascinating to see him in the role of the antagonist from my favorite book.

I have read several other graphic novel adaptations of Dracula in the past, and this is a rare treat. All the other characters and key scenes from Bram Stoker's book are respectfully included in this adaptation. There are a few tiny inaccuracies when comparing it to the original novel here and there.but they are forgivable.

El Garing's talent as a comic book illustrator is a force to be reckoned with!Īs for the story, the text of Bram Stoker's novel is somewhat faithfully adapted. The art is stunning!!! Digitally drawn/inked in black and white, super realistic with Bela Lugosi's likeness captured so well it's almost like he has been brought back to life on the pages of this book. THIS BOOK IS AWESOME!!! Just think of it like Bram Stoker's novel, Dracula, faithfully adapted into a film only with Bela Lugosi playing the role of the vampiric Count!
