For the month of December & January, we're giving away one of the most faithful adaptations of Bram Stoker's Dracula in comic book form.

Stoker's Dracula was originally serialized in Marvel horror magazines Vampire Tales and Legion of Monsters in the 1970s. Thirty years later, comics legends Roy Thomas and Dick Giordano reunite to complete their unfinished adaptation of Bram Stoker's classic tale of vampire horror. This meticulous retelling of Bram Stoker's tale of Gothic horror collects Stoker's Dracula #1-4.

This hardcover volume also includes notes from the artist, full-page cover drawings, and a collection of the covers of the comics in which the story originally appeared. It also includes sketches of unused cover drawings.

This is a really cool item, for fans of Dracula, comics, and everyone inbetween.

To enter the contest, all a member has to do is send Vladimir a PM answering this question: when was Bram Stoker's Dracula, the novel, first published?

Contest closes January 31, 2008, and is open to those members 18 and older.

More info about the book can be found here.

Hippocracy

To live is to die
All truth is but a lie

To sleep is to wake
Genuineness is fake

To love is to hate
Chances are fate

Atheism is belief
Bliss is only grief

We call tyranny democracy
In this world full of hippocracy.

Ophelia

Chapter 38: Refocus

*blinks at the vividness of the memories* 'Now why would I be thinking of back then.....that was ages ago.' She looks up and sees Deadend smile and then start cleaning glasses. Koreena stands and moves over to the bar. Sitting down at one of the tall stools, she looks at him.

"Well barkeep", she grins, "Its nice to see you again. Now, what do you recommend tonight?" She spreads her pale fingers over the counter top. "And is there anything you think I should worry about?" Her gaze flickers momentarily to the room the others had been in.
