Information
pencil and ink on cardboard
36,5 x 51 cm
Original comic art created by Crepax for the page 73 of "Conte Dracula", transposition of Bram Stoker's classic published for the first time in volume by Milano Libri in 1987. The page we presented was published on the back cover of the volume "Dracula: The seduction of the vampire" at interior of the Erotica series n. 9 from Mondadori in 2015. Breaking away from all filmic visual imagery, Crepax returns to its origins, studying, dismantling and reconstructing the Irish writer's text. The result is a fascinating epistolary graphic novel with an almost nineteenth-century drawing style with hatching inspired by the Frenchman Gustave Doré. Crepax brings out the erotic side underlying the work of the late 19th century, taking up the common thread that accompanied him throughout his career. Signed and dated.
