By now we all know the story, right? ...
Not quite.
The graphic novel "Nosferatu" reimagines the classing 1922 film with a modern-day cast. The exception, however, is the very ancient and very evil Count Orlok.
A young photographer by the name of Tommy Hutter leaves her home and her girlfriend Elle behind. What is intended to be a short stay with in an eccentric Count's humble abode soon turns into something much worse.
The cruel, inhuman Count Orlok... the Nosferatu... has his twisted heart set on paying Elle a special visit. One that will unite them, in a manner of speaking, for eternity!
This graphic novel retells the plot of the classic 1922 film with humor, action, and a few buckets of blood, taking sharp jabs at Hollywood remakes along the way.

Tommy

Elle

Graf Orlok

The creative team behind the Nosferatu graphic novel first met during a top secret psyops mission to the Carpathian mountains in 1962. Though the nature of this event remains a mystery (mostly due to overly thorough mind-wipes) all three agents returned with supernatural abilities never before seen. Now this super-team has combined their skills yet again in an effort to create the greatest and best graphic novel in the history of vampire lore!
