Murnau Tank Tops
Description: This image was a weird ride. It started off as a color version of my earlier "splash page" piece, evolved into using those imges as a cover and then took a right turn into Doctor Doom territory. It was fun to use the more salacious elements of Blacula's marketing to make something garish ... but William Marshall deserves better. Marshall (and, by proxy, Prince Mamuwalde) had real gravitas, so I began to wonder what kind of stories about "Blacula" we might get with the world as a canvas. I also didn't want to lose sight of the fact that Mamuwalde had become a villain. So, this is what we get.

Description: The Nosferatu design is inspired by F.W. Murnau's German Expressionist classic Nosferatu: A Symphony Of Horror starring Max Shrek as the terrifying vampire Count Orlok. Released in 1922, the film was a thinly veiled adaptation of Bram Stoker's Dracula and was the subject of a successful lawsuit by the Stoker estate. Only a few prints survived yet still Nosferatu came to be widely regarded as a masterpiece. Werner Herzog remade the film in 1979 starring Klaus Kinski.
