Marvel Previews: Dracula #1

Coming out this June from Marvel Comics is an adaptation of Bram Stoker’s Dracula! It will be written by Roy Thomas (Avengers, Thor), and illustrated by the late Dick Giordano (Batman, Green Lantern/Green Arrow). I can’t confirm this just yet, but I’m almost sure that this is the 2005 version reprinted but now with color. Either way, it doesn’t matter to me, I’m buying it for two reasons; one, it’s Dracula and two, it’s Roy Thomas and Dick Giordano!

I can’t wait for this to be released on June 9th. Here is what the Marvel.com solicitation page has to say:

All I can say is bring on the bite!
