My two favorite things growing up were comic books and monsters. I was fascinated with vampires, werewolves, nightmares, aliens, ghouls and all sorts of evil creatures. The wonderful thing about comic books is that they stimulate our imagination. Retro comic books have become so popular that there is even a successful television show dedicated to comics and there are numerous conventions where people come dressed up like their favorite comic book characters.In Vampire Castle, the author goes back in time to resurrect the wonderful hand-rendered artwork and classic comic book story from a comic originally published in the 1950s. It's a feast for the senses that has everything; a vampire villain, a beautiful damsel in distress and a handsome hero. There are also surprises and twists in the story line to accompany the wonderful artwork.The author does an amazing job of bringing this classic genre to ebook format. The artwork is crisp and clear and the dialogue balloons are easy to read, making the entire experience fun and scary.Be sure not to miss the "About this Book" chapter which explains how the author solved the technical problems needed to bring the comic to ebook format.I highly recommend this book for people of all ages to relive their childhood memories or discover a new and wonderful art form.
