A unique exploration of art and story, centered on one of the most famous works in gothic horror.
Featuring numerous painted illustrations and accompanying written passages to create a storytelling experience that goes beyond the typical expectations of an art book, making for a potent combination of illustration and prose.
Presenting over a 150 pages of art and story by J H Williams III (The Sandman Overture, Promethea, Batwoman), a multi-award winning New York Times best seller and the co-creator of Echolands, also from Image Comics.
James H. "Jim" Williams III, usually credited as J. H. Williams III, is a comic book artist and penciller. He is known for his work on titles such as Chase, Promethea and Desolation Jones.
While recovering from sepsis, Williams started drawing these images. Now presented in a story-book fashion to give you a retelling of the whole Dracula novel.
Looser artwork than normal for J.H. Williams III, but still brilliant stuff. I'd say this is a fans only release, or for die-hard Dracula fans that need more Dracula images.
having recently read Dracula, I picked up this lovely art book immediately once I saw it. Maybe it's not worth logging here, considering it is light on the "reading" part, but it is nice.
Some of the illustrations were truly amazing and I'd love to have them as prints on my walls, but that is about it really ... Story, ok. Shortened and simplified. A very quick read. I could easily follow the story and knew exactly where in the original book I was. As a huge Dracula fan, it is honestly a bit underwhelming. But as I said in the beginning, some of these illustrations, wow. So much details!
