First Look At Skybound’s ‘Universal Monsters: Dracula’ #1 By James Tynion IV and Martin Simmonds

Previously we’ve been treated to some of the covers featured on the debut issue of Skybound/Universal Products & Experiences’ Universal Monsters: Dracula #1, and now we get a first look.

Produced by the Department of Truth team of James Tynion IV and artist Martin Simmonds, the debut issue will be out in comic book shops on Wednesday, October 25th.

“When Dr. John Seward admits a strange new patient into his asylum, the madman tells stories of a demon who has taken residence next door. But as Dr. Seward attempts to apply logic to the impossible…his surrogate daughter Lucy begins to fall under the spell of the twisted Count Dracula!”

“In addition to “Dracula” himself, this series features popular characters from the classic original film, including R.M. Renfield, Mina Seward, Doctor John Seward, Van Helsing, and more. Both long-time and new fans of the Universal Monsters movies can expect new twists, encounters, and a deep dive into the darkest corners of this timeless villain’s narrative.”

Universal Monsters: Dracula will be followed by other all-new limited series highlighting other iconic Universal Monsters from some of the biggest names in comics. Each series will feature variant covers from some of the best artists working in comics today—Joshua Middleton, Francis Manapul, Julian Totino-Tedesco, and Jenny Frison.
