    I know I cut out the best part but wow, no doubt about it. I wonder if it's Morrow himself recycling (he did draw lovely ladies) or if it's a swipe of some sort?

          Good Lord, that young lady has no clothes on.

          I think a two handed Frankenstein grab may be in order rather than the one handed Dracula effort (if you get my meaning ).

            The paint brush strokes make her look like she has a hairy behind

                Nice Freudian slip! That is some tremendous artwork, harkening back to the day when women had figures and not skin draped over skeletons. No doubt about the artwork being recycled though - that is an obvious swipe, either by the original artist or an imitator.

                  This is a direct link to the site the pic came from:

                  The Groovy Age of Horror

                  This website has some stuff that's not for the kids. Just a heads-up.

                  The cover artwork on alot of these old paperback comics is very well done. Gray Morrow had nothing to do with them. They all have some sorta swipe to them. Now be forewarned: most of these are very graphic. So if you have a problem with that, do not look. Most of these books were produced in the late 70's through the 80's.

                      Our discussion made the blog

                      The Groovy Age of Horror: Curious Couplings: Mego?

                      I'm beginning to see a trend in that artist's work, can't quite put my finger on it...

                            The artist probably used Mego Dracula art as a reference for the vampire and Sir Mixalot's song as inspiration for his victim.

                              I'm uncertain which came first. The Mego art seems like a lift of this to me.
