I thought I would put together a special Halloween cover. Since the comic book Crypt Keeper looked so much less cool than the live action version (just an old dude in a fright wig and robe versus the beady eyed skeleton from the TV show), I had to come up with a suitable guest star... and who better than the one character in comicdom that has been allowed to remain dead!
I was more of a superhero fan when I was a kid, but I did like to check out horror comics like Tales From the Crypt, Unexpected and House of Mystery from time to time. They were always filled with pleasantly gruesome morality tales and often had some amazing artwork, both on the covers and the interiors.
Dave sez,
ReplyDeleteMost excellent!
wonderful job! I'm actually partial to the early 1980's I...Vampire featured in House of Mystery issues. Joe Kubert had some excellent covers, and any story drawn by mooody Gene Colon was worth reading just for the art.
ReplyDeleteDid Marvel have thier own equivalent to DC's NIGHTFORCE?
ReplyDeleteYes it was Tomb of Dracula. WOlfman and Colon worked on it and Nightforce.
ReplyDeleteI actually guffawed when I saw the name on the crypt. Great work.
ReplyDelete......so howabout Ross? Batman & Dracula...it draws itself!!!
ReplyDeleteBatman and Dracula have teamed up in the comics as well as in a direct to video movie, that's the only reason I didn't do a cover for that pairing here.
