In the early days of Marvel, the bad guys all wore green and purple. Probably to help Stan remember who was on what side.dangermash aka The Artistic Actuaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15669793446608643884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4142199900369238852.post-10593188293074145632016-09-21T05:10:21.735-04:002016-09-21T05:10:21.735-04:00M.P., I used to have a few comics-based T-shirts, ...M.P., I used to have a few comics-based T-shirts, but honestly I never wore them much. Then again, I never wore band T-shirts either, which were pretty popular as well. The only conclusion I can draw from that is that *shrug* I was never into wearing advertising, I guess!<br /><br />Colin, yes, the acting was a little overplayed at times--it almost feels like you're watching a play, rather than a film. My impression of horror movies is that they were all about build-up and slowly peeling back the curtain to reveal what was lurking there, and "Dracula" indulged in quite a bit of that. (Just ask Jonathan Harker!)<br />Comicsfanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10064955427593820783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4142199900369238852.post-54966884571715277052016-09-20T21:53:38.416-04:002016-09-20T21:53:38.416-04:00Cf, thanks for the link you provided to the 1931 D...Cf, thanks for the link you provided to the 1931 Dracula film which I've now watched. They certainly took plenty of liberties with the novel (but then again, so did the 1958 Hammer film). But boy, oh boy films were so slow back in 1931 with all that stiff, stagey acting too...I suppose "Dracula" must have seemed really scary at the time though :DAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4142199900369238852.post-19218062420321465702016-09-20T21:47:26.435-04:002016-09-20T21:47:26.435-04:00One of my favorite villains, simply because he'...One of my favorite villains, simply because he's so darn weird and spooky. I've always enjoyed his occasional appearances, but I have no idea what this Cyborg Sinister business is about. Sounds creepy!<br />The Kirby cover to this comic was so cool, Marvel put it on a T-shirt you could order in the '70's, as I recall. I used to see the ads for it in the Seventies, but I never had one (sob).<br />M.P.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
