Image Comics has revealed a first look excerpt of the forthcoming Dracula: A Storybook Portfolio by Eisner and multi-award-winning creator J.H. Williams III. The first look shows stunning storybook pages that retell the classic Dracula tale; the book will feature over 150 pages of painted illustrations and accompanying story passages, luring readers into a beautiful and terrifying gothic world. The hardcover Dracula: A Storybook Portfolio book hits shelves this October, perfectly timed to spooky season.

Dracula: A Storybook Portfolio is a unique exploration of art and story, centered on one of the most famous works in gothic horror. Its numerous painted illustrations and accompanying written passages create a storytelling experience that goes beyond the typical expectations of an art book, making for a potent combination of illustration and prose. New York Times bestselling writer and artist Williams III creates a fantastical and absorbing reimagining that adds an extra bite to Bram Stoker’s original Dracula story.

Dracula: A Storybook Portfolio, featuring a cover by Williams III (ISBN: 9781534371569, Lunar Code 0624IM266) will be available at local comic book shops on Wednesday, October 9 and independent bookstores, Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Books-a-Million, Indigo, and Waterstones on Tuesday, October 22.
