Ever since Bram Stoker, the vampire known as Dracula has been haunting the world’s dreams. The subject of countless books, movies, and comics, it would seem that there would be little you could add to his legend. Still, Apple Comics does just that in Blood of Dracula.

The series runs as a serial anthology, featuring three stories in each issue. In them we see Dracula throughout the ages: hunting for blood in his native land or stalking the streets of America. In one story set in the 1930s, he comes across a moonshiner who is actually a werewolf, and who has been creating other werewolves by putting filings from his teeth into the libations he distributes. The wildest concept is Dracula in 2199, where the Lord of the Vampires awakens after a long sleep to find himself in a world ruled by cold, hard science and populated by advanced robots. That world has forgotten the mystical —but Dracula is determined to show them fear!

Issue #15 contains a two-sided record containing Blood of Dracula music. Composed and produced by none other than Mark Wheatley.

Track list:
Side one: First Night
Side two: Introduction in Evening & Running with the Wolves

Additionally, Issue #15 also contains a cutout Dracula/Vampire mask located on the inside of the back cover.

The last remaining disciple of Dracula’s legend manages to resurrect the Lord of the Vampires. Awake after three centuries, Dracula finds himself in a world ruled by science – and devoid of religion.

“Berni Wrightson’s The Lost Frankenstein Pages”
Artist: Berni Wrightson

When Marvel Comics published Berni Wrightson’s illustrated edition of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein in 1983, many of the illustrations Berni had prepared for the project were not included. This series presents a look at some of that unused artwork – along with other rare Frankenstein and Frankenstein-related drawings by Berni.
