A New Look At Skybound’s ‘Universal Monsters: Dracula’ #1

Skybound is ramping up the PR that practically sells itself, given the property (Dracula) and the talent involved (writer James Tynion IV and artist Martin Simmonds).  But, I’m not complaining. In partnership with Universal Products & Experiences, here are a set of new preview pages to salivated over from the forthcoming Universal Monsters: Dracula #1.

“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! 

Inspired by Universal Pictures’ 1931 film, Tynion IV and Simmons’ return to take fans new and old into the darkest corners of Dracula’s timeless narrative. 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.”  

The debut issue of the extra-length four-part comic book limited series will be available in comic book shops on Wednesday, October 25th, 2023.
