Varney

Post by Sheldon »

I recently bought the comic book 'The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen' and looking at the cover, I googled some of the characters shown in the pictures on the cover, I looked up 'Sir Francis Varney'. Following one of the links I saw a picture that made me think instantly of a frame in the Dandy Book 1997, under the story 'The Return of Baron Blood' - further looking showed three frames are EXACT copies of old Varney the Vampire covers/images of the 1840's. Nice subtle reference to old comics and something to be use din the future, i think.
