DRACULA Book 1: The Impaler

Comic book veterans Matt Wagner and Kelley Jones join forces on this new take on the world’s most famous vampire. The first of four planned volumes, The Impaler explores the legendary count before his debut in the novel—from his first foray into the dark arts to his rise to lord of the undead! Wagner and Jones explore the veiled stories from Dracula, diving into the bloody, horrifying events between the lines of the famed horror novel.   I've known Kelley for years now, selling him his weekly comics at Bud's Citrus Heights California COMICS & COMIX location back in the '80s, even rolling for criticals with the Micronauts artist when he joined our merry comic shop band to play Dungeons & Dragons! Since those days, he has truly become one of comics' most uniquely talented and uncompromising artistic voices, and his work on Deadman, Batman, The Sandman—and now his Dracula quadrilogy with Matt Wagner—stands as a permanent and lasting tribute to his skill and talent. ~Marty
