Dracula was my favorite classic gone graphic novel. Like Treasure Island, I knew the story but have never read the original text. I liked Dracula as a graphic novel because so much of the vampire popular culture we have is visual. It seems appropriate to have the images. I really enjoyed reading it. It was very exciting.
The story is about Jonathon a solicitor whose fiancee Mina (along with many others) is attacked and nearly turns into a vampire. With the help of gentleman and a smart doct More...

This adaptation has captured most the action from the original novel, yet misses all the wonderful tension built up through the letters and journals. It's captivating and a very quick read; in fact, once I started I couldn't put it down until done.
The drawings worked pretty well, and I especially liked how creepy Dr. Van Helsing was drawn. I always thought that the rather strange doctor was almost as creepy as Dracula, and sometimes more so.

Read this in conjunction with Random House's Classics Stepping Stones edition (Grade 3 reading level) and now feel I've got the Bram Stoker tale down without having to deal with Bram Stoker's turn-of-the-century prose. I got over. I liked Becky Cloonan's portrayal of Van Helsing--more menacing than Dracula--and her androgynous John Seward.

This graphic novel follows the original pretty faithfully. Unfortunately, I didn't think the illustrations were all that great. It was hard to distinguish between several characters (Mina and Dr. Seward and Dracula when he's in London all look too similar, especially) and sometimes it was hard to tell what was going on in the frame.

Apparently Becky Cloonan had a fierce need to eat or something. She does a good job illustrating the story, but there is nothing that new, intriguing, or interesting here. The writing stays very one dimensional and rushed. May be good for kids and teens who have never read the classic, but no classic itself.

I love the Dracula story, the only issue with this version being that in some of the panels, a lack of lines on characters faces, made them look a little flat and uninvolved in what was going on around them. Backgrounds were drawn extremely well, adding atmosphere and Dracula himself was thoroughly creepy.
