Dracula: Book IV - The Undead Set to Conclude the Acclaimed Graphic Novel Saga

Matt Wagner and Kelley Jones are launching a Kickstarter campaign for Dracula: Book IV - The Undead, bringing their acclaimed graphic novel saga to a close.
Legendary creators Matt Wagner and Kelley Jones are bringing their acclaimed graphic novel series to a close with Dracula: Book IV - The Undead. Published through their independent Orlok Press label, the final volume continues the tradition of the previous three books by offering a dark and stylish extension of Bram Stoker's classic horror tale. IGN recently debuted an exclusive first look at the opening five pages of the book alongside the launch of its crowdfunding campaign.
The narrative picks up directly after the events of the original novel, exploring a clever loophole in how the vampire was dispatched. Wagner noted that the British heroes in the original story failed to follow Professor Van Helsing instructions precisely, which left an opening for the dark lord to rise again just as the sun was setting. Fans of dark fantasy and creator owned comics can back the final chapter now through Kickstarter before it eventually finds its way to traditional bookstores via Dark Horse Comics.
This concluding chapter represents another strong win for independent comic creators using direct funding models to bring passion projects directly to their communities. As digital ownership and creator focused crowdfunding continue to shape how niche graphic novels and indie games reach their audiences, projects like this show the power of building a direct line to fans. Keep an eye on the campaign if you want to complete your shelf alongside the first three volumes.
