Bram Stoker & Al McWilliams: Dracula – The Original Graphic Novel
Dracula –both the legendary blood-thirsty vampire and his historic inspiration, Vlad The Impaler– has terrified and fascinated the world via a myriad of films and books ever since Bram Stoker’s original 1897 novel.
Tales of the vampiric Prince of Darkness have been adapted to every format including a number of graphic novels.
But just as Stoker’s 1897 novel ever holds its historic place, so too does the original Dracula graphic novel. The premier, 1966 graphic adaptation of Stoker’s classic was edited and packaged as a paperback by legendary Creepy magazine founding editor, Russ Unca’ Creepy Jones.
Creepy launched as a full-sized, uncensored black and white horror comics magazine in 1964.
It ran, most-famously adorned with covers by Frank Frazetta, for near 300 issues over two decades, spawning a tsunami of imitators and competing horror magazine lines including from Marvel.
From 2008-2019 Dark Horse released a complete library of Creepy Archives hardcovers which often made the New York Times bestseller list.
After leaving Creepy magazine, for the landmark Dracula graphic novel, Jones enlisted Supergirl co-creator/writer Otto Binder and Star Trek, Twin Earths and Creepy artist Alden McWilliams to adapt Stoker’s novel.
Legendary Dracula actor, Christopher Lee even provides an Introduction!
For Halloween 2021, Vanguard has enlarged, revised, and expanded, this historic but long-out-of print classic in a luxurious hardcover edition with a new historic essay by How To Draw Chiller Monsters author, J.

Have you ever schemed with a friend?
Stared at your phone screen well after you should have gone to sleep?
Braced for heartbreak?
Been told to smile more?
Then Unimpressed will undoubtedly speak to you.
In a book that bridges comics and memes, Tacchia uses her biting sense of humor and background in animation to create brilliant character portraits of women with only markers, Post-it notes, and tape.
A master of expression, figure, and subtle (and other times not-so-subtle) comedy, Tacchia’s protagonists are usually unimpressed women — who all share the fact that they don’t give a shit about you, as Tacchia puts it.
What makes Unimpressed so impressive and entertaining is how Tacchia taps into instantly relatable feelings and situations while simultaneously creating art that exudes confidence and vulnerability.
(Sample caption: When you went from giving him an earful to a mouthful.)
Her often scabrous depiction of life as a young single woman today echoes that of Phoebe Waller-Bridge’s ( Fleabag) or Abbi Jacobsen and Ilana Glazer’s ( Broad City). Funny, smart, observant, sexy, gross, and relatable — Unimpressed is a wonderful debut and a great gift idea.

En tiennyt olevani vihainen (Läskizine)
Sari Sariolan “Läskizine” kertoo, millaista on olla liian suuri maailmaan.
Kun sohvat romahtavat alta ja treffaillessa törmää vain läskifetisisteihin. Onko lihavalla yhtäläinen arvo maailmassa kuin normaalipainoisella vai ovatko ylipainoiset ihmiset vain vitsejä?
Sariolan teos tarttuu kulahtaneisiin käsityksiin ja ravistelee niitä. Maailmassa, jossa ihmisarvo mitataan ulkonäöllä ja muotit puristavat, vihaisuuteen on enemmän kuin tarpeeksi syytä.
Teos käsittelee ihmisyyttä ja arvokkuutta, joka ei ole painoindeksistä riippuvainen.
