Another Dracula Sequel in the Works: Graphic Novel Harker

“When I first started doing ‘Harker,’ I spoke to Dacre because I heard he was doing his sequel,” said Lee. “We discussed it all and discovered there was no major crossover in our stories. Following that, Dacre ended up involved with everything since that point.” The 112-page novel will feature art by Peter-David Douglas and Neil Van Antwerpen and an introduction by Dacre and Ian Holt, a Dracula historian with whom Dacre is co-writing his sequel.

According to Lee, “Harker” is set six months after the conclusion of the main story arc in “Dracula” but before the final chapter in which Jonathan and Mina Harker’s son is born. The project will also feature a host of returning characters from the original novel. “The hunters have come back to Victorian London to regroup, Mina’s now pregnant with the child we know is going to turn up because he’s alive in the end note of ‘Dracula,'” explained Lee. “Jonathan gets a ghostly message from Quincey Morris informing him that, although they killed Dracula, they didn’t get them all. The fourth bride of Dracula, the Countess Dracul, is on her way to London to get revenge on the people who killed her husband.”
