Coming in December, Sword of Dracula: The Dracula War - Author, Jason Henderson, has been kind enough to release the first six pages of The Dracula War as well as the corresponding pages from the screenplay upon which it is based.

Jason writes, “In this scene, the prologue, Ronnie Van Helsing leads an attack on one of Dracula’s floating blood reservoirs. I’m also including the same scene from the script for comparison, because it’s an interesting illustration of how the different media lead you to make different choices. Greg [Scott] and I started with a scene with four commandos and several more pilots– the final scene has only two characters, the movement is different, etc. In the end they’re the same scene, but very different in how you accomplish “land on the zeppelin, inject it, fight zombies and jump off.”
