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

Picked this one from couple of graphic novels which are based on Dracula, because this one was said to be most faithful to the Bram Stoker's Dracula.Now, the story is epistolary i.e. told in letter format & the author might have done the best he could; but it being a graphic novel had immense opportunities to be even more creepier, terrific form of the original book, which it couldn't achieve.The fonts used were also difficult to read sometimes & the artwork was decent, but having read a fair sh...

Moore's adaptation reads fine.The Worley's art is sadly not atmospheric but is simply muddy. (If only Cassaday had done all the artwork and not just the covers!)Lastly the fonts chosen are far from the best.Stoker's novel deserves better.

A soulless retelling of a marvelous source material. Most of the artwork is just terrible, a five minute search on DeviantArt will get you way more talented artists than this.

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 h...

As a huge fan of Dracula that already owns several different versions of the book – annotated editions, anniversary editions, and various illustrated editions – to say that I was excited to get my hands on this graphic novel is putting it lightly. However, my excitement rapidly devolved into a hollow disappointment as I went through the book. Oh, it does a decent job of telling the story, but does so in an unenthusiastic, nearly clinical manner.To begin with, the layout of the pages were horribl...

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.

Pretty faithful graphic novel adaptation of the original book and as usual I like almost anything with vampires in it (except twilight)

Dracula is a truly awesome classic. It has its moments, especially in the first half, where it’s a little hard to take. I wanted to roll my eyes when Jonathan went through his horrific experience at Dracula’s castle, then “forgot” everything when he caught a brain fever after his escape. That was convenient for the story. Or when Van Helsing refused to tell everyone what he thought was happening to Lucy until it was too late. If you’d told them everything, you idiot, they wouldn’t have left her

Dracula is a book that has always been a favorite of mine. In the past eighteen years I've read it five times. I have several different editions, some annotated, some with book illustrations. I'm sorry to say that this graphic novel adaptation was a major disappointment. No, I'm not sorry...this version is complete and utter garbage! I had previously read graphic novel adaptations, Stoker's Dracula by Roy Thomas and Dick Giordano as well as Dracula The Graphic Novel: Original Text by Jason Coble...

A workable adaptation of the classic vampire novel, marred by poor art.See my whole review here: http://noflyingnotights.com/?p=8751

Being an avid Dracula fan, I thoroughly enjoyed this version in comic book format. The illustrations were beautiful, and the book consisted of the first five chapters of Stoker's book; also included segments of Dracula's Guest in the beginning. Most likely this version is geared to the young adult crowd, I did find myself quite taken in by it I do recommend this to all Dracula fans out there. You won't be disappointed.

Dracula is part of our culture. Virtually everybody has heard of him, even if they haven’t read the original book by Irish author Bram Stoker. This book is an adaptation of the original. The conventions of the vampire fantasy were developed in the original. Reading this adaptation, I learned how those conventions came about and I feel as if I have a good feel for the original work. In that sense, I’ve expanded my repertoire of literary knowledge and feel I’m a more knowledgeable literary devotee...

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 pi...

After reading the original Bram Stoker novel I also found this graphic novel and thought it would be an interesting comparison. It is the complete story and follows the style of the original in showing us different documents by various people. The drawings are dark and surreal, some pictures seem photorealistic, others are more comic style/abstract. The colours are very dark too, even the parts taking place in daylight are dark and forbidding. The colour red is only used for emphasis. This all f...

Probably the most faithful comic adaptation. The artwork often leaves a lot to be desired -- it's a very dark, gothic painted style that hides more than it reveals, which works well for some of the darker elements of the story, but provides no contrast to the moments of reality and levity -- making the whole thing look like an opium-induced fever dream inking. I also probably shouldn't have read the collective notes at the end which make too many statements to the effect of "Mina is awesome and

A bit disappointing, honestly. The cover art is excellent, but the artwork inside leaves much to be desired, and the pacing of the writing just feels wrong. At least it didn't take that long to read.

As always, enjoyed the story - it *is* the ultimate vampire story after all, IMO. And to think that it is actually composed of letters and extracts from journals, yet it keeps the reader on the edge! I was surprised to see how well this kind of story telling fell into a graphic novel. However, I was a bit disappointed by the illustrations. Albeit being very good, I just felt that a graphic novel about a vampire could have been more vividly illustrated. (Or, quite possibly, I have just been spoil...

I think I would tend toward a 3.5 on this one based on some of the changes the creators saw fit to make. Of course, you won't get the depth with this graphic novel as you'd get with the actual novel, but this is a sufficient version for someone that doesn't want to sit down to read one of the best books ever...

Really liked it, and the inclusion of the introduction
