RODNEY BARNES TALKS
BLACULA: RETURN OF THE KING
Los Angeles – the City of Angels. Two souls. One is looking for vengeance and one is looking for the truth. They have one thing in common: they are both searching for the legendary vampire Blacula. But Blacula is also on a mission...
In this interview, wrtier RODNEY BARNES discusses the first book coming from Zombie Love Studios Blacula: Return of the King.
DIAMOND: Can you give us some insight into your upcoming title Blacula: Return of the King?
RODNEY BARNES: I loved the movie Blacula when I saw it way back when. As I got older and returned to it, I saw places where it was problematic. So I longed for the opportunity to not only fill those gaps, but to bring that character into the 21st century with the same elegance that Dracula and other classic monsters have been given. And in regard to the art, I can say with all honesty that Jason Shawn Alexander knocked the look of the character out of the park. And I'm pretty pleased with the story, so hopefully fans will feel the same.
