John Seward

A man of science caught in the crossroads of reason and the supernatural, John Seward steps into the comics page through Graphic Classics #7 (2007), brought to life by the collaborative vision of Bram Stoker's original storytelling and the creative talents of Rich Rainey and Joe Ollmann. A Modern Age comics presence, he appears across a compact but distinguished trio of adaptations — Graphic Classics, Manga Classics: Dracula, and The Complete Dracula — each reimagining the gothic world he inhabits for new generations of readers. He keeps extraordinary company on those pages, sharing adventures with the likes of Abraham Van Helsing, Mina Harker, Jonathan Harker, R. M. Renfield, and Quincey Morris, a gathering that signals just how faithfully these Eureka Productions titles honor one of horror's most beloved ensembles. For fans of literary comics adaptations done with care and ambition, John Seward is a character whose small catalog footprint belies the rich, atmospheric world he represents.
