  3. Nice one. Sort of Gorey-meets-Moebius-ish, which is appropriate to the title.

  4. Thanks! I've been a huge Colan/Palmer fan since I found a box of old Tombs of Dracula & Howards the Duck when I was about 8, so this felt kind of sacrilegious, but I couldn't resist because it's such an insane image-- also because Strange and Dracula have a sort of dueling stylish mustache/impractical collar thing going on.

  5. (Marvel-Dracula's collar is like one those post-surgical cones for dogs & cats-- what a drag for someone whose whole job is biting people.)

  6. Nice. There is something weird about Drac holding Strange that way. A the implication that Strange is dead and his ghost is attacking Drac...so eerie.

  7. Yeah-- this is one of the covers I've only seen online and I really wish I could read the story-- no idea whether any of the stuff on the cover is really in it. Marvel wasn't so big on actual death and resurrection in those days, but if I remember correctly Dr. Strange did end up "mostly dead" a few times resulting in various crazy out-of-body shenanigans.

  8. Nice organic line to this drawing, nice tweaks like the angle of Strange's body, the flow of his astral projection thang, and the eyebeam going thru the logo. Keep these coming!
