Dracula, Motherf**ker! by Alex de Campi

3.0

A cool neo-noir style comic to kick off my Halloweenie season. It was very very short so the story was basic but fast paced. The artwork was excellent, I loved the different colour pallets throughout, and it was interesting to see the different interpretation of Dracula; being a terror monster rather than the usual handsome man. (A point that the author touches upon at the end of the comic)

Meanwhile the added info from the illustrator at the end about page designs was also very interesting. Understanding how we automatically scan both pages (the spread) before reading so it’s important to always hide big visual reveals on the left-hand side, to see first when we turn the page. As well as how they used colours to set a tone and help guide the readers though panels and scenes, giving each setting its own colour.

Anyhoo this review has taken longer than it actually did to read the comic so imma stop typing now.
