Dracula: A Symphony in Moonlight & Nightmares

Jon J. Muth (adapted from Dracula by Bram Stoker)

NBM Publishing 1992

The first time I remember encountering the work of Jon J. Muth (b 1960) was his two excellent children’s books, The Three Questions (2002) and Stone Soup (2003). Later I realized I had actually had seen his work before, I just didn’t recognize it as the same person. At the time, I didn’t know that Muth had started in comics, but his comic work is quite different from his children’s art. Muth had done the art for “Exiles,” the story included in the last collection of Sandman stories, The Wake. Everything finally became clear when I read the story “Big Sky” in Warren Ellis’ excellent Global Frequency. Originally published by Marvel in 1986, Muth’s Dracula is beautifully wrought and lovingly characterizes Lucy Seward and Mina Harker in particular. At times reminiscent of Barry Moser and Alan Lee, Muth’s gorgeous watercolors, paired with a minimalist and heavily modified adaptation of Stoker’s classic novel—part journal entries, part dialogue—comes across like the screenplay of a fever dream.

If you want to refresh your memory:

Mike Allred: World’s End #54, “The Golden Boy”

Jon J. Muth: The Wake #74, “Exiles”
