About the Author

In 2003, Busiek was picked by Marvel and DC to pen the best-selling JLA/AVENGERS crossover event; the first and only meeting between the two competing franchises. Daryl Gregory's first novel, PANDEMONIUM, appeared from Del Rey Books in 2008 and won the Crawford Award for 2009. It was also a finalist for several other awards, including the Shirley Jackson Award and the World Fantasy Award. His second novel, THE DEVIL'S ALPHABET, appeared in November, 2009, and was named one of the best books of the year by Publisher's Weekly. Scott Godlewski is co-creator of MYSTERIOUS ADVENTURE MAGAZINE and a freelance comic book illustrator and writer living in Mesa, Arizona --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

From Publishers Weekly

How do you make Count Dracula scary in the age of Twilight? By getting in touch with the man behind the legend, according to Busiek and Gregory, creators of this intriguing remake. Conrad Barrington, the unscrupulous CEO of a major conglomerate, manipulates his milquetoast nephew, Evan, into using ancient spells to resurrect Vlad III of Walachia, the Romanian hero who inspired the legend of the vampire king. The story is told from the nephew's perspective as he gradually learns the dark arts necessary to control Dracula, eventually coming to sympathize with him. The aristocratic Vlad opposes Conrad's self-serving corporate ambitions, and is characterized as a morally complex character with a strict code—the result is a thought-provoking Dracula that the reader can actually root for. The writers do a good job of contrasting Dracula's 15th-century value system with contemporary culture. Couceiro's colorful if slightly generic artwork serves the narrative well. While there is quite a lot of action in the series, the gore never feels tacked on, even when the expected team of vampire hunters shows up. (Feb.)

Fun New Spin on the Original Vampire

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 24, 2023

Verified Purchase

This was a fun read. A little on the short side, but I did enjoy the story & I'm curious to see where it goes from here. I picked this up on Kindle Unlimited, & as far as the ebook experience goes, I think they did a great job with this graphic novel. I have always been a fan of vampires, since I was a kid in the '80s, so this take on Dracula, the original vamp, was an good fit for me. Aside from the well written storyline & the colorful artwork, I like the themes within the story, the juxtaposition of Dracula's honor against the total corruption of the corporate "bloodsuckers" who raised him. If you're looking for a quick, entertaining horror GN, Dracula The Company of Monsters might be for you. I am diving right in to volume 2 (also available on KU)!

I'm a big vampire fan. So when I first heard of this, I had to hunt it up in the library. It was a hassle but I finally managed to read it. I loved it them, and I love it now. The book came in pristine condition and bagged. The colors pop and the story is very interesting, though it still suffers from the idea that Dracula and other vampires cannot walk about by day in the light of the sun. That was purely a creation of the movies, as in the original novel he was perfectly fine to move by day. Other than that, this book is a great read and I recommend it to anyone who wants to see a very unique story featuring Dracula in the modern day taking on psychos in corporate America.

This is an under-rated yet fun read

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 10, 2012

Verified Purchase

I recently read the comic book / graphic novel series Dracula: The Company of Monsters. The story deals with a young man caught in the web of his sister uncle who wants to use alchemy to raise Dracula from the dead and use him against his enemies. Once Dracula awakens in the twenty-first century our protagonist has to decide who is the more dangerous monster, Vlad the Impaler or his demented uncle and his megalomaniac plans.

The story is surprisingly suspenseful and Dracula, himself, is enjoyable and portrayed with real personality, much like in the version in the equally enjoyable Dracula Sequence book series by the late Fred Saberhagen. I strongly recommend this graphic novel for any fan of Dracula.

The illustrations are great and the plot is fresh and creative even though it does use a public domain vampire.

Fantastic read and take on Dracula

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 25, 2015

Fantastic read! Kurt Busiek does an amazing job of building up the world in which this Dracula will inhabit, and I found myself rooting for him as the story progressed. Looking forward to picking up the rest of the story, especially in light of the minor cliffhanger of an ending to this volume.

Great start to a new Dracula series

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 20, 2011

I picked up a finished copy of this graphic novel at Book Expo America (BEA). All in all it was an interesting graphic novel. The illustration was top notch and I enjoyed the storyline.

When a corporation discovers the corpse of Vlad the impaler, the CEO is determined to ressurect Vlad in order to have him carry out some of the companies dirty work. Drawn into this a young man named Evan who has been translating ancient documents and doing some of the experimental work leading up to Vlad's resurrection. The graphic novel alternates between ancient times when Vlad ruled and current times where they are trying to force Vlad to work for the corporation.

I enjoyed this story; it is engaging and interesting. It was a neat idea to have Vlad resurrected solely to help a corporation succeed. It does takes some digs at corporate America, as the reader is left with a question about who the monster really is here. At times Vald seems more humane than the corporate gurus he associates with.

The illustrations was very well done and absolutely top notch. It matches the tone of the story well and it is easy to tell facial expressions and character identities. It is full color and very detailed, just very well done. This is definitely aimed at adults, there is a lot of violence.

Overall I think this is an interesting addition to the Dracula mythos and an interesting way to use Dracula as a character. Most of this book it setup, so I am really looking forward to reading the second book in this series. The illustration was top notch and the story creative and engaging. I definitely recommend this to Dracula fans out there and to people who are interested in seeing Dracula brought into a modern day setting.

Interesting

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 9, 2018

*Book source ~ Library

A powerful corporation finds Dracula and decides to use him to further their agenda. Whether he wants to or not.

This is an interesting take on Dracula. Who knew there was a way to resurrect a vampire? I didn’t. I really enjoyed the story and the artwork is fantastic. The end is a cliffhanger, but then it is a new series and a graphic novel, too. So, I’ll forgive it. I do want to get the next one in the series to see what happens. The library doesn’t have it so I guess I need to suggest the purchase.
