History

Legendary Entertainment first announced the launch of its comic book division, Legendary Comics, in 2010 with the appointment of editor-in-chief Bob Schreck and editor Greg Tumbarello. The first graphic novel published by the company was ''Holy Terror'' by Frank Miller, which was released in 2011 as the #1 graphic novel and immediately launched the division as a top ten comics publisher. ''Pacific Rim: Tales from Year Zero'' was a #1 ''New York Times'' Best Seller, ''Godzilla: Awakening'' was a ''New York Times'' Best Seller, and ''Annihilator'' by Grant Morrison & Frazer Irving was nominated for an Eisner Award. In 2020, the company published an adaptation of Bram Stoker's 1897 '' Dracula'' novel, which used the likeness of Bela Lugosi, the lead actor in the 1931 film from Universal Pictures.
