Matt Wagner and Kelley Jones’ Dracula saga continues at Dark Horse Comics with the November 2025 release of Dracula: Book II – The Brides.
“Readers who enjoyed the first volume of our epic exploration into the secret history of the world’s most famous literary character—DRACULA: BOOK I–THE IMPALER—will find even more sinister and horrifying thrills in our next chapter, BOOK II—THE BRIDES,” said writer Matt Wagner. “This ongoing project is a real labor of love for both Kelley and me and we couldn’t be happier with our results. Whereas BOOK I was a look into Dracula’s hellish origins, THE BRIDES is even bigger, badder and bloodier than ever as we unveil the unique and mysterious backstories for this sinister trio of vampiric vixens whose brief appearance in the book is so utterly unforgettable. But this is still Dracula’s story…we’ll see how the centuries he’s spent in his decaying castle lead him closer and closer to the events of Bram Stoker’s classic novel. And, after all, how few days go to make up a century.”
“The blood of Dracula, and that of his Brides he so lusts for, pumps swiftly through my veins as I draw Matt’s amazing epic of the Impaler’s unlife,” said artist Kelley Jones. “I can easily say nothing like this has been told and nothing like this has been seen before. Dracula can now be shown in his total horrific glory. His dangerous and beautiful wives will make the undead lord reveal more of himself. Each page is one more step to his fate and each volume is one more century he comes closer to us on a cursed journey you must read to believe. Man, I am glad Matt and I get to bring this to you all. It’s the book I was born to draw.”
Dracula: Book II – The Brides is set to arrive on November 18, 2025.
