At last it’s here! The Complete Dracula #3 arrives in shops across the globe this week and we sincerely hope you’re looking forward to it as much as Matt Holmes is.
There have been some changes this issue, the most obvious being the introduction of Mr. Dheeraj Verma to the team (and we are, of course, very pleased to have him aboard).
As usual, our author’s notes in the back of the book will tell you everything you could possibly want to know about the issue (and probably some stuff you didn’t want to know too) as well as showing the script to finished artwork process.
Don’t forget to drop into the Forum and tell us what you think of the issue.

The Complete Dracula #2 will arrive in shops across the USA & Canada tomorrow (UK & Europe on Thursday).
The second issue begins with the story of the doomed ship The Demeter as it sails from Varna to Whitby carrying a deadly cargo. The voyage takes place between mid July and early August so, for those of you following the story in real time via Dracula Blogged, Blog Dracula or Real Time Dracula (with all it’s Twitter based goodness), the action is actually taking place as I type.
For those of you who can’t wait to get your hands on a copy of #2 here’s a sneek preview of pages 1 to 5 - digitally painted by Mr. Colton Worley (take a bow sir) ably assited by Mr. Aaron Campbell’s splendid layouts.

We’ll be rounding off our mini signing tour this coming Saturday at the new SubCity Comics (unit 5 West Essex St. – just off Dame St.) from 1pm.
We’ll be signing copies of The Complete Dracula #1, The Trial of Sherlock Holmes #1 & #2 as well as collected editions and anything else Rob has knocking about the place. This is likely to be our last visit to Dublin for a while (this year at least) so it would be great to see as many of our Irish chums as possible while we’re over. See you Saturday!
Full details of the signing can be found on our Upcoming Events Page.
Who could have predicted that following the great zombie panic of 2007/2008 (during which we did our best to spread the infection with Raise the Dead) vampires would become the monster du jour of 2009? Well, luckily for us, we (or at least Dynamite Entertainment) sort of did.
It’s thanks to that kind of eerie forward planning that we find ourselves interviewed about The Complete Dracula in the pages of the brand new SFX Magazine Vampire Special alongside the likes of James (Spike) Marsters, Anita Blake author Laurell K Hamilton, Let the Right One In director Tomas Alfredson and many, many other bloodsucker related folks.
As you’d expect the special is also packed with Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Twilight realted features and goodies (including posters and drinks coasters) as well as a pocket sized book of the 1819 novella The Vampyre and Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu’s Carmilla – two stories that are believed to have influenced Bram Stoker’s Dracula.
It’s nice to be “on trend” with TCD but I think it might also be worth mentioning that we did write another vampire book not so long ago. The Darkness vs. Eva – Daughter of Dracula was a 4 issue Dynamite/Top Cow series published between March and June 2008 with art by the fantastic Edgar (Project Superpowers) Salazar.
The series sees Darkness wielder and mob boss Jackie Estacado having a bit of a problem with an influx of vampires, werewolves and other supernatural nasties into his city. One of these visitors just happens to be Graf Von Orlock – an ancient vampire with a plan to gain the upper hand over the mortals. Meanwhile Eva Tepes – Daughter of Dracula, sucked through time and stranded in modern day USA, is busy doing what she does best: slaying evil wherever she finds it. When Eva interrupts a ritual Jackie finds that his control of The Darkness is slipping – just what he needs when vampires have decided to take a bite out of his business.
As you probably know, we’ve been doing a series of signings recently to promote TCD and Holmes (don’t forget SubCity Dublin this Saturday) and people attending have been really interested in the Darkness/Eva collection which a lot of them didn’t seem to know about previously. So, if you’re interested, why not check out the first 13 pages of the TPB? If you like what you see you can order the book from our Darkness vs. Eva page.
So, what’s the next big monster craze going to be then? I’m hoping it’s were-wolves… damn, we’d better get planning a lycanthrope book then…
Continuing our mini signing tour (following on from a very enjoyable and sucessful signing last Satruday at Travelling Man Manchester – thanks to everyone who made it so) we’ll be at OK Comics in Leeds this Saturday from noon onwards signing copies of The Complete Dracula, The Trial of Sherlock Holmes, The Darkness vs. Eva – Daughter of Dracula and lots of other stuff.
Full details at Upcoming Events
Don’t forget, last stop on the tour is SubCity Comic in Dublin on Saturday the 13th.
Don’t forget we’ll be at Travelling Man in Manchester tomorrow from 1pm signing copies of The Complete Dracula, The Trial of Sherlock Holmes and loads of other stuff.
Full details at Upcoming Events
Signings at Leeds’ OK Comics the following Saturday and Dublin’s SubCity Comics the Saturday after that.
Hope to see you there.
