Big Bad Blood of Dracula

In 1991, writer and artist Mike McCarthy launched Big Bad Blood of Dracula for Apple Press, a short-lived but memorable two-issue series that reimagines the legendary vampire with a gritty, monstrous twist. McCarthy’s singular vision blends horror and dark humor, presenting Dracula as a hulking, primal force rather than a suave aristocrat. Though brief, the series stands as a cult oddity of the early-’90s indie comics boom, showcasing the raw, unpolished energy of its creator-driven era.
