Where did you find the audio track? It's amazingly clear.

OK, I'm gonna let my inner 14-year old out - Huh huh - hairy palms.

Now seriously, how on Earth did I miss this graphic novel?!?

@Vortigern99 A Ballantine graphic novel? interesting I've never heard of Alden McWilliams but his artwork reminds me of some of the art from Warren horror comic magazines like Creepy & Errie of the 1960s,

Thanks for sharing this with us, I'll have to check and see if this graphic novel is listed in Overstreet and the Comics Data Base.

@coventrygardens i understand the hungarian-romanian aspect..i am hungarian..my grandfather's name is BELA..but i digress..i appreciate your insight..this is a subject i enjoy discussing..take care..

[coventrygardens]

@801liveable some of us ( including myself ) tend to see lugosi as more authentic because he was hungarian, & dracula as presented in the bram stoker novel was hungarian. hey, maybe christopher lee should have changed his name to kristof lugosi. lol. ironically, the dracula character in real history was romanian, not hungarian. romanians and hungarians are geographically near each other, but their languages are completely different. i like "horror of dracula" more than "dracula" with lugosi.

[801liveable]

@coventrygardens your point is well taken and a valid one..i guess i should have written that i prefer CHRISTOPHER LEE'S portrayal of DRACULA and he is my favorite..that's not to say LUGOSI'S is not great either..2 different styles..2 different eras..while BELA LUGOSI'S portrayal of the COUNT is everlasting..the movie DRACULA, is really not that oustanding..the first part is interesting..the rest a bit staid..HORROR OF DRACULA on the other hand is active, lively, and florid and LEE keeps pace.

[coventrygardens]

@801liveable i think lugosi and lee were both great in those roles ( and other roles ), but it can be tough to compare the two, because i don't recall lugosi ever doing those roles in color. i guess they can colorize the old lugosi movies, but colorizing generally doesn't make things look good.

@FK42 It's a 1966 Ballantine graphic novel by Russ Jones and Alden McWilliams. The script is credited to Otto Binder and Craig Tennis, but is copyrighted 1966 Russ Jones Productions. McWilliams is the illustrator.

The script that Christopher Lee is reading from is obviously similar, but a few key lines are different.
