Alberto Breccia's Dracula

Alberto Breccia''s Dracula is composed of a series of brutally funny satirical misadventures starring the hapless eponymous antihero. Literally defanged, the protagonist''s glory days are long behind him and other, more sinister villains (a corrupt government, overtly backed by American imperialism) are draining the life out of the villagers more than one creature of the night ever could. The first painted, full-colour entry in Fantagraphics artist-focused Alberto Breccia Library, and the atmospheric palette adds mood and dimension. It also includes a sketchbook showing the artist''s process.
