- "Dracula" graphic novel read by Christopher Lee.
Dracula is a novel by Bram Stoker, published in 1897. As an epistolary novel, the narrative is related through letters, diary entries, and newspaper articles. It has no single protagonist, but opens with solicitor Jonathan Harker taking a business trip to stay at the castle of a Transylvanian noble, Count Dracula. Harker escapes the castle after discovering that Dracula is a vampire, and the Count moves to England and plagues the seaside town of Whitby. A small group, led by Abraham Van Helsing, hunt Dracula and, in the end, kill him.
Dracula was mostly written in the 1890s. Stoker produced over a hundred pages of notes for the novel, drawing extensively from Transylvanian folklore and history. Some scholars have suggested that the character of Dracula was inspired by historical figures like the Wallachian prince Vlad the Impaler or the countess Elizabeth Báthory, but there is widespread disagreement. Stoker's notes mention neither figure. He found the name Dracula in Whitby's public library while holidaying there, picking it because he thought it meant devil in Romanian.
The graphic novel printed in 1966.
The audio was recorded in 1966.

I love the comic-book sketches! The artwork provides some good visuals. And Christopher Lee's narration really brings the story to life.
I listen to this every night when going to bed.
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.
Is this comic reprinted?
Is it available for purchase on Amazon?
Dracula reading "Dracula". Cool.
you can tell Anthony Hopkins listened to this, and noted the performance. I could swear I was listening to him a few times.
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.
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.
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.
is that how they spell 70’s over there?
@@powertheimmortal you're not spelling it correctly either.
@@dimetronomehow do you spell it with numbers then?
@@powertheimmortal decades are spelled like this: '70s
@@dimetronome oh ok
Brilliant. Thank you for posting.
They should use CGI to bring Dracula back as Christopher Lee and use his voice from this, that would be awesome and super epic...
This is everything ♥ this is bedtime bliss 🧛♂️ rip Christopher you legend x
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!!!
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
They're most likely loosely based on their appearances

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.
This was absolutely amazing I'm glad I found it.
Oh, This was wonderful, thank you so much !!!!
Thanks very much
This was a wonderfully written story .
This was absolutely brilliant! Thanx for uploading 🙂
Brilliantly read by a true horror great . Thank you for the upload . God bless
Thank you
one of my favorite classic stories to read!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
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
This is great. Thanks for posting this.
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 :)
Use the shovel they said 🤣
Vampires can't handle it.
They said.
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.
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.
@@Facade953 look up the movie Count Dracula I think it came out in 1972 it is pretty accurate.
Not too great a job... The music is overpowering and the speech jumps...
It's in print again
7:20 you know everyone imediately thinks to those commercials and joke that dracula says “show me the carfax”
I wish there was one for LOTR.
“this step will be the furthest i have ever been from the shire”
BA BUM DA DA DUM
I love this to bits 🌚
parts are missing and possible copywrite problem
Dracula looks a bit like J.Jonah Jameson
very good
Brilliant. Do you know the name of the soundtrack? Coinsidentally I've heard it used in a version of Nosferatu.
They can't make up their minds whether it's garlic or wolfsbane--it's garlic in the novel.
in poptropica its both
How can I find more comic content like this?
I love this . you did so well
Dracula has hairy palms
*DUNNNNN*
🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
Chris lee orated this??? 😍😍😍😍pls say
What's with the gaps in the narration. Thom? ☹☹☹
The TH-cam auto-copyright cut out bits when some of the music played, even though the music is paid for and copyright-cleared… 🤦
18:58
I love vampire dracula eternal.
I always love you forever.
And the oscar goes to........
is the music part of the recording or did add it in?
UPLOAD MORE THIS TYPE OF MATERIALS
You forgot to say "please."
And decades later John Morris and his son Johnathan Morris would face and kill Dracula in Castlevania:Bloodlines and Castlevania:Portrait Of Ruin.😄
Those damn Slovaks🫣
Veltkom too mein Haus !
With so many cuts, why would you even bother posting it?
Dun Dun DUN!!!
Can someone plz summarize all of this for me in a few paragraphs or more please?
My coach stopped?
Why didn't anyone warn Harker about Dracula? They all let him go, though they knew what awaits there for him.
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.
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. ; )
@binge Read my last comment again, ya dummy.

Name of the cartoonist, please?
The name of the cartoonist for the graphic novel of 'DRACULA' was Alden McWiliams. I still have this comic version in paperback! Purchased it way back in 1966... fifty-one years ago!
