New DRACULA Comic Launches a New Series of Universal Monster Comics From Skybound
Skybound is launching a new series of comic books that will be based on the classic Universal Monsters movies and the series launches with Dracula, which comes from horror comics master James Tynion IV. He wrote the four-issue series with art created by Tynion's Department of Truth collaborator Martin Simmonds.
Tynion said in a statement: "A few times in my life I've had the pleasure of writing about one of the great pop culture icons, but there is something singular about Dracula that made this opportunity too good to pass up.”
He added: "The challenge in front of Martin and I is to take the bloody heart of the Universal Pictures classic and find a bold new way to bring the character to life. It's been one of the most exciting creative challenges of my life, and I am phenomenally excited for you to see the horrors we have in store for you."
Simmonds said: "Dracula has always been a horror favorite of mine. To get the chance to work on an exciting new interpretation of this character alongside my Department of Truth co-creator, James Tynion IV, was one I couldn't pass up. I'm so excited for readers to experience our version of Universal's classic monster - and I hope you enjoy the direction we take the story."
As well as Dracula himself, the series will feature famous supporting characters such as Renfield, Mina Seward, Van Helsing, and more.
