There are things that go bump in the night. There are things that bump them back. It’s not safe to assume that the second kind is any more friendly than the first.
A writer friend and I have, over the last couple of years, played with different ideas for graphic novels. So far we haven’t come up with one that works for both of us.This is one of those. No biggie. Part of the fun is the playing.

I don’t have a joke to go with that headline.
And here I indulge my fondness for swamp monsters.
I spent a good part of 2012 and 2013 illustrating a graphic novel. It’s unlikely to see publication with its original script. This was the protagonist.
Shhhh. Sasquatch is watching you.
Drawing feathers on dinosaurs feels weird.
The Horror of Party Beach is probably not a good movie. I’ve only seen it once and I don’t remember it being a good movie. The monster costumes are pretty ridiculous. Yet I keep returning to the story as an illustration subject. For me, the idea of human corpse reanimated and transformed into fishmen by atomic waste is just too much fun not to play with.
I’m not a Dracula fan, either of the original novel or most of the movie versions. It’s not that I dislike the character or vampires. I’m just not a fan. I really enjoyed Tomb of Dracula, the comic book series by Marv Wolfman/Gene Colan/Tom Palmer, but that bore little resemble to the original novel.
Anyway. The literary Dracula had a mustache. The most famous version of Dracula was played by Bela Lugosi. Without a mustache. I fixed that.
