"Dracula" graphic novel read by Christopher Lee

[@MatthewTheWolf2029]

I love the comic-book sketches! The artwork provides some good visuals. And Christopher Lee's narration really brings the story to life.

[@geoffberesford]

A full recording of this is included as an extra with a DVD copy of the film 'Count Dracula' (1970) Starring Christopher Lee and Herbert Lom.

The images in this video are scanned from a 1966 Ballantine paperback illustrated by Al McWilliams, adapted from Bram Stoker by Otto Binder. In its accuracy to Stoker's novel this Binder/McWilliams version is second only to the Thomas/Giordano version, which Marvel published over the course of decades and remains the most complete and true-to-the-book comics version available. Yet as topnotch as Giordano's work is, to my eye the illustrations here surpass all others in their realism, their sense of depth, and in McWilliams' flare for shadows and mist.

[@SAFFRONINFERNO]

Is this comic reprinted? Is it available for purchase on Amazon?

[@hattiem.7966]

I recognize Castle Bran.I was there a year ago touring it.It was much smaller than I thought it would be.I loved Dracula,The Series with hot Canadian actor Geordie Johnson .It was filmed in Luxembourg and only on the air a year ( 1990-1991 ).It's on Y T too.He did a great job almost 30 years ago!!!

[@bernardwills3956]

I listen to this every night when going to bed.

[@joshjames253]

you can tell Anthony Hopkins listened to this, and noted the performance. I could swear I was listening to him a few times.

[@rm2kking]

I love his voice in this era. Always reminds me of King Haggard from Last Unicorn. To some people he was Dracula, to some he is Saruman, to some he is Scaramanga. However, the first time I ever seen Sir Lee, he was King Haggard.

[@CanadianBlaze137]

The music makes it feel like a Hammer film. The Dracula in the comic looks like John Carradine and the Van Hellsing looks like Edward Van Sloan

[@michaelbalance98]

They're most likely loosely based on their appearances

[@rm2kking]

I learned from the other version of this, from a kind commenter, that it does sound like that because it came from a vinyl record released by Hammer Films. So your guess is correct.

[@JohnSmith-be1vl]

@@rm2kking Actually, the 'Horror of Dracula' LP did feature a story read by Christopher Lee, but it was actually a completely original story (made to showcase the mood music used in the Hammer Dracula series, especially the first and third (or second actually with Dracula) movie). It is on here still, I believe. You should seek it out.

[@kentbroegoldschmidt5124]

i read this comic as kid in the 70'ties. we had a wave of horror comics here in Denmark in the early 70'ties to late 70'ties, then it mostly ended.

[@powertheimmortal]

is that how they spell 70’s over there?

[@dimetronome]

@@powertheimmortal you're not spelling it correctly either.

[@powertheimmortal]

@@dimetronomehow do you spell it with numbers then?

[@dimetronome]

@@powertheimmortal decades are spelled like this: '70s

[@powertheimmortal]

@@dimetronome oh ok

[@rachie_sherlock]

This is everything ♥ this is bedtime bliss 🧛‍♂️ rip Christopher you legend x

[@LATVERIAN1]

Dracula reading "Dracula". Cool.

[@suerrossiter]

Brilliant. Thank you for posting.

[@joyadurchoudhury9127]

This was absolutely brilliant! Thanx for uploading 🙂

[@TheTigersbay]

Brilliantly read by a true horror great . Thank you for the upload . God bless

[@alcottdevalte7440]

They should use CGI to bring Dracula back as Christopher Lee and use his voice from this, that would be awesome and super epic...

[@derekseven1647]

This was absolutely amazing I'm glad I found it.

[@otakunemesis34]

I just love these open source and anthology comics makes me what to know the publishers ever since I first saw them in my school library

[@TwinkleTwinkleTruly]

There’s something so silly about the “dam-dam-daaaaah!!!!!!” musical cues, but it’s a product of its time, and I guess it was effective in the 60’s? It feels more like a minor jump-scare each time to me, cuz of how loud it is XD This is really nice and well made. It’s so interesting to see a portion of the story come to life like this :)

[@yolainesene8691]

Thank you

[@Lamont24012]

This was a wonderfully written story .

[@terencejones9044]

one of my favorite classic stories to read!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@starclone4]

Oh, This was wonderful, thank you so much !!!!

[@hawkspeak8592]

you did a great job with this, I had been looking on amazon and ebay for the paperback of this and didn't find it, had it as a kid and thought it was great job of cartooning the story and adding Chris Lee's narration is fantastic. Great job.

[@Facade953]

Hawkspeak Why can't Hollywood make a faithful live action adaptation?Dracula 1931, The Horror Of Dracula and Bram Stocker's Dracula from the 90's are great films but they're not book accurate like this graphic novel.

[@ThomasK96]

@@Facade953 look up the movie Count Dracula I think it came out in 1972 it is pretty accurate.

[@lesreed7943]

Not too great a job... The music is overpowering and the speech jumps...

[@Siegfried5846]

It's in print again

[@greeniem]

This is great. Thanks for posting this.

[@Dragonblack90]

Dracula has hairy palms *DUNNNNN* 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂

[@powertheimmortal]

7:20 you know everyone imediately thinks to those commercials and joke that dracula says “show me the carfax”

[@dunning234]

Thanks very much

[@Enk64]

Brilliant. Do you know the name of the soundtrack? Coinsidentally I've heard it used in a version of Nosferatu.

[@Master_Blackthorne]

What's with the gaps in the narration. Thom? ☹☹☹

[@thomgoddard]

The KZbin auto-copyright cut out bits when some of the music played, even though the music is paid for and copyright-cleared… 🤦

[@soulmaster846]

How can I find more comic content like this?

[@devanarayananirreplaceable3896]

Chris lee orated this??? 😍😍😍😍pls say

[@cpcva724]

Dracula looks a bit like J.Jonah Jameson

[@johnsimpson4868]

[@chrisbanbury]

I wish there was one for LOTR.

[@maxshade2935]

I love this to bits 🌚

[@Ron-tt3ll]

parts are missing and possible copywrite problem

[@Master_Blackthorne]

They can't make up their minds whether it's garlic or wolfsbane--it's garlic in the novel.

[@powertheimmortal]

in poptropica its both

[@YUKO11282]

I love vampire dracula eternal. I always love you forever.

[@Facade953]

And decades later John Morris and his son Johnathan Morris would face and kill Dracula in Castlevania:Bloodlines and Castlevania:Portrait Of Ruin.😄

[@tomalakis2483]

is the music part of the recording or did add it in?

[@JFmK-sh5nh]

With so many cuts, why would you even bother posting it?

[@Sa-gb8mr]

My coach stopped?

[@PaulSmith-pf2uq]

Why didn't anyone warn Harker about Dracula? They all let him go, though they knew what awaits there for him.

[@Master_Blackthorne]

They did, but he went anyway. It was his job and they tried to protect him. In the book, the coachman tries to get to Borgo Pass early so they would have to go on to Bukovina but Dracula gets there anyway to meet them.

[@PaulSmith-pf2uq]

Master Blackthorne Yes, I know but they l e t h I m g o ! Why didn't they do something more drastic like lock him in? They must have seen that he did not take their warnings seriously. Then again, I suppose, if he had believed them, there wouldn't be a story. ; )

[@PaulSmith-pf2uq]

@binge Read my last comment again, ya dummy.

[@bruhb0190]

Can someone plz summarize all of this for me in a few paragraphs or more please?
