Dracula: Book IV - The Undead Concludes an Epic Vampire Saga

We've got an exclusive preview of Dracula: Book IV - The Undead, as Matt Wagner and Kelley Jones' landmark vampire saga comes to a close.

Dracula: Book IV - The Undead Concludes an Epic Vampire Saga

Matt Wagner and Kelley Jones, the acclaimed creators behind the Dracula graphic novels, are set to conclude their epic vampire saga with their latest installment, "Dracula: Book IV - The Undead." The Kickstarter campaign for the graphic novel has launched, and IGN has been granted exclusive access to the first five pages. As with the previous volumes, Wagner pens the story while Jones brings the pages to life through his captivating illustrations.

The book, published under Orlok Press, will undoubtedly join the ranks of Dark Horse Comics' bestsellers once completed. The story picks up after the events of Bram Stoker's original novel, Dracula. Characters like Jonathan Harker and his allies had failed to fully vanquish the undead menace, leaving Dracula to return from the dead and once again menace the world.

In a twist, Wagner reveals that the British heroes did not employ the proper methods for destroying a vampire, outlined by Professor Van Helsing in the original novel. This oversight, coupled with the impending sunset that would renew Dracula's powers, provides the perfect opportunity to delve deeper into the vampire lord's world.

With Kelley Jones' extraordinary artistry, Wagner has crafted a thrilling continuation of the Dracula saga. As the story unfolds, readers will be left wondering if Dracula can truly be defeated, or if he will rise once more as the "THE UNDEAD." The Kickstarter campaign for "Dracula: Book IV - The Undead" is now live, and the previous three volumes can be found through Amazon links provided below.
