==Trivia==
*The pose Dracula was in when mourning for Lisa's death via crucifixion in the comic was later reused in promotional artwork for Castlevania: Lament of Innocence, also done by Ayami Kojima, where Mathias Cronqvist is seen mourning for Elisabetha in a similar manner, foreshadowing that character's connection to Dracula.
