The Complete Dracula

While this graphic novel provides a great overview and faithful adaptation of Stoker's somewhat tedious novel, it fails to evoke the same terror and chilling Gothic atmosphere that the novel does. I was most disappointed how short the Transylvanian section at the beginning was, as this is my favorite section of the novel (Harker's journey through the Carpathians to Dracula's castle and his stay at the castle).

I love the artwork on each comic cover issue but the artwork for the story itself was hit or miss...many times inconsistent and distracting. Despite that, it is still worth reading and having in any Dracula collection.

I love the book Dracula, so I was highly intrigued by this graphic novel adaptation. This managed to be faithful to the original, while bringing its own level of horror and eeriness to the story with really great drawings.

This graphic novel reminded me of the old Classics Illustrated comics I read when I was a kid. Basically, this is Bram Stoker's Dracula with pictures.

Some of the pictures were very good - almost photographic in quality. Others I did not like as well. I didn't care for the pictures of Dracula himself.

Since I've read Dracula, I did not find this as interesting as if I had never read the novel. I would have enjoyed this more if I were younger and had not read the actual book.

(Okay, every time I picked this up to read it I fell asleep, but that may be due more to my work schedule than the comic.)

I can't say that Dracula has ever been on of my favorite classic, but I have been thinking of re-reading the book since it has been years since I read it. But now I don't need to since I read this faithful graphic novel instead. But I must admit that I would have preferred the book instead and I will probably try to re-read the book sometime in the future when my memory has faded a bit...

I had some problem with the font, a lot of different fonts was used some worked fine on the Ipad, some were a lot harder to read, so, in the end, I read part of it on the computer and part of it on my Ipad (depending on If was near a computer since I wasn't always at home)

Also the art...hmm it just didn't do the trick for me. I wasn't really show more overwhelmed by it.

But it the end it was a hell of a ride! ;) show less

Very approachable graphic adaptation of Stoker's classic novel.

A true to the novel graphic adaptation.. but the graphics were disappointing...

No absolutely not. I made it to 5 pages and had to stop. The graphics/art are horrible! Not enough detail and the faces are disgusting. I already know the story like the back of my hand so no use in continuing looking at the bad artwork.

No stars at all.
