 In Transylvania, evil lurks. Jonathan Harker goes to Dracula's castle on business, but he finds sinister creatures are occupying the space. A month later, Mina, Jonathan's finance, finds herself in a peculiar incident of her own. Her friend Lucy has been sleepwalking. Even worse, her blood has been disappearing and she has two strange bite marks on her neck. By this point in time, Count Dracula   has become a famous figure that almost every kid knows of.

Alice in Wonderland adapted by Russell Punter

 When Alice follows the White Rabbit down the rabbit hole, she finds a fantastic world full of wonders. Alice's journey introduces her to many weird and wacky characters. It wasn't until recently that I realized that Alice in Wonderland  has no real plot.

The story flowed so effortlessly and the transition between scenes was perfect. The artwork in this graphic novel done by Simona Bursi was amazing! I loved that she stuck to the original character designs rather than the ones made popular by Disney. I'm so excited to read and collect the other graphic novels adapted by Russell Punter. I already have Dracula, The Hound of Baskervilles, and Robin Hood. This is such a great book to read if you're a fan of the original Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. Page Count:...
