Nosferatu is a vampire tale told in the classical manner. It began in the town of Bremen, Germany in 1838 when young Johann Hutter was sent on a special errand by his boss, real estate agent Knock. Herr Knock wanted Johann to travel to Transylvania to meet with a Count Orlac, who wanted to purchase a property in town. For Johann, it seemed the opportunity to earn a rich commission and advance his career, but Johann’s young bride Ellen feared she would never see him again.

Riding hard for several days, Johann finally arrived in Transylvania, where the locals lived in fear of Count Orlac. Still, Johann pressed on until he was face-to-face with Orlac himself, a strangely pale and misshapen man. Johann did not know it then, but he would soon discover that Orlac was a Nosferatu—a vampire. By meeting him, Johann had not only placed his own life in jeopardy, but had imperiled the entire town of Bremen—including Ellen!

This series was originally published in two comics from Caliber’s Tome Press imprint, and later collected in a prestige-format compilation from the main Caliber imprint.
