October 1992. Y'know, some people would be grateful to be in a castle with three hot vampire women, but not Jonathan Harker, in this scene from the comics adaptation of the film BRAM STOKER'S DRACULA, written by Roy Thomas with art by Mike Mignola and John Nyberg, and originally published by Topps Comics.

When IDW reprinted the adaptation a few years back, they offered both color and B&W editions, the latter presumably intended to better showcase Mignola's art:

#comics #movies #dracula #bram stoker's dracula #jonathan harker #brides of dracula #francis ford coppola #roy thomas #mike mignola #john nyberg #mark chiarello #keanu reeves #vampires #i think the color version works better and is very striking-looking #comics art intended for B&W needs different techniques than art intended for color #just subtracting color will often end up losing some visual coherency #a problem dc's stupid “noir editions” emphasize
