The collective album "Dracula in Comics" will be launched on Wednesday in the Big Hall of the Brasov County History Museum, reads a press release sent to AGERPRES on Wednesday.
The album includes works by 47 artists or teams of artists and it's the first comics album dedicated to the character Dracula, and at the same time the largest comics collective album published so far in Romania, with 251 pages of comics made especially for this project.
The comics album opens with "Dracula, The Immoral", a study written by historial Nicolae Pepene, which brings many information and unique images, especially about the 'relation' Romanians have with Dracula. The 40 pages of the study are divided into chapters called: "Damned', 'Dracula, The Prince', 'Dracula's Portraits', 'Why don't You Come, Lord?', 'A Damned Count', 'The Not-Dead', 'War, Sex and Redemption', 'Looks Like Dracula', 'Romanians and Dracula', 'Here Come the Americans!', 'Dracula is Dead! Long Live Dracula!', 'Money's the Root of All Evil', '(D)racula (C)omics', 'Wallachian Ballad', 'Dracula's Library'.
In this context, the album 'Dracula in Comics' is also a homage paid to writer Alexandru Hodos, the first translated into Romanian of the novel Dracula (1928-1929) and artist Charles Benedek, the first artist who drew Dracula in Romania (1928).
