Blood of Dracula

In the late 1980s, Apple Press published Blood of Dracula, a 19-issue series that reimagined the classic vampire mythos with a gritty, modern edge. Primarily written by Rickey Shanklin and Mark Wheatley, and illustrated by a rotating team including Damon Willis, Neil Vokes, and Mike McCarthy, the book blended horror with urban fantasy. It stands as a distinctive cult entry from the independent comics boom, offering a darker, more character-driven take on Dracula's legacy.
