Dracula: Vlad the Impaler

Roy Thomas and Esteban Maroto bring their formidable talents to IDW for this 2021 one-shot that reexamines the historical figure behind the vampire legend. Blending Thomas's scholarly approach to classic horror with Maroto's lush, atmospheric art, the issue offers a grim portrait of Vlad III's brutal reign. It stands as a potent, standalone character study from two seasoned creators at the top of their game.
