Way back in the 1970’s, there was something of a horror renaissance going on in the comic book world. First, you had legends like Bernie Wrightson creating things like Swamp Thing for DC, and second, you had a veritable gold mine of public domain critters ripe for plunder, like Dracula and Frankenstein.
This stuff was also heavily influenced by the early heavy metal and rock scenes that were taking hold in popular culture, so you get guys like Frankenstein rocking the blue jeans and furry vests!
I was a little too young to read a lot of this stuff, and preferred my comics soundly focused on peeps in tights punching each other and worrying about their aged relatives. But, as I got older, I fell in love with all of it, from the EC black and white anthologies to the pure schlock of Marvel’s monsters.
I really love the look of this Frankenstein from Marvel Crisis Protocol, and he’s a solid kick-off to my Midnight Sons faction!
I also got to spend some time reading up on improving my photography skills while in the hospital, so I’m excited to share some improved pics! I was never happy with how my pictures turned out, so seeing them nice and vibrant like this is making me happy for sure!
