ID: A two-page comic of Jonathan Harker and Count Dracula. Jonathan looks at Dracula with an open, curious expression. There is remnants of shaving cream on his face and a small, bleeding scratch on his cheek. Dracula glares intensely as he gripped Jonathan's chin. The middle panel zoomed in on the red rosary around Jonathan's neck and Dracula immediately looked unease, the caption near his face says "x-files theme." The bottom panel zooms in on the silver-backed mirror on the dresser behind Jonathan. Dracula takes a deep breath and leans back. Second image, Dracula calmly reaches for the mirror, still holding Jonathan's chin. He then chucks the mirror out of a window, shattering the glass. With the same calm expression, Dracula states," And this is the wretched thing that has done the mischief. It is a foul bauble of man's vanity. Away with it!" End ID.

I know in the novel he opens the window before yeeting the mirror into the courtyard, but I think this reaction is funnier.

Episode 1 of The Adventure Zone Versus Dracula without context:

Extremely rough first stab at the Taz Vs. Dracula lineup bc I love them all so so much already and don’t have the time to finish a lineup of characters for fun rn 🥲

Close up sketches, design notes and surprise drac under the break:

The Naming of 2024

When I listened to the episode i was like oh no I gotta release the chat screencaps bc we absolutely were on board immediately

First time drawing Bela Lugosi's Dracula. It was fun drawing the cover of this formerly blank variant, but it's the interiors by Martin Simmonds that are a feast for the eyes.

So, my third favourite on-screen Dracula is Bela Lugosi.

While Lee is my all-time favourite, I also adore Lugosi’s take and respect how much of an impact he had on vampire media. I mean, he’s iconic! He had so much presence and gravitas (why yes he was a stage actor, can you tell?), and reinvented the vampire from being a hideous monster to being a distinguished suave gentleman. 

Also he had some pretty spot-on (and sexy) things to say about women and our appreciation of horror. 

It’s also good to note that due to the time the first Dracula film was made, Lugosi’s Dracula didn’t have fangs and we didn’t actually see him bite his victims because it was considered to be “too suggestive”. It was his suave persona (and the cape thing *fans self*) that made his Dracula sexually appealing to audiences. 

I'm not sorry

Dracula and Bela Lugosi are both hot as fuck

This version of Dracula is one of my favorite movies ever.
