1970s-Inspired ‘Dracula’ Graphic Novel in the Works – Hollywood Reporter

Most people who know my work are aware that I love pulp/exploitation cinema, so me doing a book calledDracula, Motherf**ker! shouldnt really surprise anyone, De Campi said Thursday in a statement. Another thing I wanted to bring to this pulp fantasia was a sensibility from horror anime, with its love of transformation and of the noncorporeal, to push the element of man-as-monster in directions specifically suited to sequential art.

She continued, Erica Henderson has been an absolute dream to work with. She brings so, so much to the book, from her expert visual storytelling skills and her experimental, wildly exciting use of color in this story to her appreciation of my Demi Moore jokes. When I saw theres a nocturne page which is chartreuse silhouettes on a cobalt background, I nearly died, it was so striking. Ericas so famous fromSquirrel Girlso people frequently think of her in terms of her skill with comedy, but seriously, she can do anything.

The graphic novel is scheduled for release Oct. 7 in comic book stores and Oct. 13 in bookstores.
