Perhaps you just lost all that blood, Bob. Where was the last place you saw it?<br /><br />As for the art, it might have been a little old-fashioned, but it certainly shined here and there. I loved the Revolutionary vampire and the doctor jumping out of bed in his suit. I think page three really came up with a nifty way to keep the art and the egregious amount of exposition separate, even if the artist did turn around and blow it totally on page four.Mr. Cavinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01634994342702518448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-983171239671909762.post-39507389730112276422012-11-10T20:50:03.600-06:002012-11-10T20:50:03.600-06:00>A neat, suspenseful, real or imagined vampire ...>A neat, suspenseful, real or imagined vampire tale.<br /><br />I agree, it seems to me there was an obvious attempt made here in the storytelling to keep the reader guessing... why, it's downright refreshing!Mr. Karswellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15889717828895556186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-983171239671909762.post-90042130025557918902012-11-09T12:18:55.906-06:002012-11-09T12:18:55.906-06:00I always love skeptics pre-code comics.

Being a skeptic (of which I am one) doesn't mean you don't believe in vampires, it means you don't believe in vampires because there's absolutely no evidence they exist, and don't seem possible with the current laws of physics.<br /><br />If skeptics are presented with evidence, then they investigate and change their opinions.<br /><br />In these comics -- no matter what -- nothing shakes these guys! Intelligent bat attacks? Vampire bites? Missing body? Blood lost? Bah!

The rest not so much, though I admit to a perverse pleasure in seeing a weak artist draw himself into a corner with panels like number 4 on page 4.Trevor Mnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-983171239671909762.post-61060235278771948852012-11-08T18:53:03.995-06:002012-11-08T18:53:03.995-06:00From Bob the Builder to Bob the Vampire, neat tale...From Bob the Builder to Bob the Vampire, neat tale. This story could have been turned into a Alfred Hitchcock Presents episode. We never know for sure if a real vampire or a vampire bat was the culprit. Even the ending leaves you wondering if Bob came back or another vampire bat flew in for a quick bite before bed.<br />A neat, suspenseful, real or imagined vampire tale.<br />Great find, KarswellJMR777https://www.blogger.com/profile/03538238702295526065noreply@blogger.com
