It mustβve been daunting to adapt such a gorgeous film as #BramStokersDracula. The team behind the #comic chose minimalism, shadows & atmosphere, & it worked! A poster montage of the characters would look stunning. You can check out the latest from 1993 below. π¦·π¦·π§π»ββοΈπΊπ½

Do people know that Marvel comics including cops with Punisher skulls was a response to IRL cops forming gangs and using excessive & lethal force with those skulls? So Marvel said βuh, what the hell?β and created storylines explicitly saying βdo not support these peopleβ.
