Just got through reading this! Fantastic release with incredible artwork capturing Lugosi's likeness as the Count to a "T". Nice to see this done with the participation of both the Lugosi and Stoker estates, especially concerning Bela, Jr. and his daughter. Highly recommended all-around!
This is certainly a must for any Bela fan as well as fans of horror comics.

Sorry (not sorry) to bump this, but I finally read my copy over Labor Day weekend -- highly recommend it! The art is terrific, and although I haven't actually read the original novel in over 20 years, it appears to be quite faithful to the source material. I just wish they could've made Renfield look like Dwight Frye.

Amazon still has the hardcover:

If it does well, maybe it will nudge Universal to realize the actors, and their likenesses, are what people love most about these classics.

I seem to recall that it was the greed of those who control Lugosi's estate that kept his image off most Universal merchandise.

Or perhaps conversely...and more believably, the greed of big corporations who milk someone's likeness well past any sensible period of time, possibly? Two sides to every argument.  :angel: Especially in light of the fact that they are on the outs with The Chaney estates....or had been until recently. We know Universal unceremoniously dismissed players when they had no further use for them. Even Jack pierce, from whose brain sprang these designs.

Wuuttttt??? I just learn Frankenstein is also coming??? Like...a year later but is still in production it seems, i hope i can snatch it too since the Dracula one was fantastic and is one of my favorite books to date. I would really appreciate a Phantom of the Opera one as well.
