Hammer Horror’s Captain Kronos: Vampire Hunter Lives On in Comic Form
Titan Comics has revealed that they will be adapting Hammer Horror’s Captain Kronos: Vampire Hunter into a comic book series, one that continues the story of the 1974 cult classic film. Titan Comics will be releasing the series, which will be written by Dan Abnett (Aquaman, Guardians of the Galaxy) and drawn by Tom Mandrake (Sidekick, The Spectre).

However, beneath the surface of the beleaguered town, a malevolent force far more evil and deadly is awakening; and it might just be the match of Kronos…
