review:

'Dracula (Dover Graphic Novel Classics)' is a faithful adaptation of the novel told in graphic novel format. As a bonus, all the art is presented black and white so that it can be colored.



It's all here. The creepy castle and creepier Count Dracula. The Harkners, Van Helsing and Renfield. The dark and tragic death. The race to the castle to stop the Count and save one of his victims. There are things left out, of course, because it's only 48 pages long, but for about $4, you get a good adaptation and some great art you can color.



Of the three of these I've recently read, this one, due to the nature of the story, is a bit on the darker side. Most people will know of these stories, but just know these are not children's adaptations of the stories, so shop accordingly. But of the three I've read, this one had some great pictures to color. Dracula's three concubines. A graveyard in a church. A train. The adaptation and art by John Green has been great in all these, but I especially liked this one.



I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Dover Publications and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.
