Young Dracula: Prayer of the Vampire

    (Boneyard, 1997-1999)
™ and ©1997 Gary Francis

The infamous vampire Dracula is resurrected by mysterious emissaries charged with maintaining a balance in the collective unconscious. These pan-dimensional guides require the specialized skills of Dracula to oppose Cartiphilus of Rome, the Scourge of Golgotha and the murderer of Dracula’s beloved.

This title features mostly single-panel pages of ink wash artwork rife with large blocks of wordy descriptions. This melodrama takes itself very seriously, and while casting Dracula as a sympathetic hero relative to a greater evil is not an entirely new concept, this is a unique mingling of horror, theology, and mysticism.
