Sherlock Holmes could totally take Dracula.

Yeah, I said it.

He was the world's greatest detective, and the fourth smartest man in the world*. He was strong enough to bend an iron bar with his bare hands (no, really, he did it). He killed the biggest crime boss in history by JUDO FLIPPING HIM OFF THE SIDE OF A CLIFF INTO A WATERFALL. Come on, he was a 19th century Englishman who knew oriental martial arts. That's a damn cool cat.

Plus, he did it all while smoking heavily and strung out on cocaine. He was GOOD.

Dracula, meanwhile, was killed by a crazy college professor who was pushing seventy at the time. Nice.

So; the Great Detective vs the Prince of Darkness. Place your bets.



*Behind Professor Moriarty (3rd), Dr. Fu Manchu (2nd) and Captain Nemo (1st). That’s how I rate it, anyway.

OOOOO! Dracula looks cool! I don't know why, but I like vampires for some reason. I think because...they can be very pretty? And they live in huge castles and are most of the time rich. And they're smart...the only part I wouldn't want to do is the blood sucking thing....it's kind of gross. But aside from that what pretty people! *sighs* Unless the person who creates the vampire is the type of person who likes an ugly monster...hmph.

Anyway nice drawing! Sherlock Holms taking on Dracula...that's new to me!

Vampires are very popular, I hear. I never really went much for the monsters as a kid... I was always more interested in the human monsters, if you catch my drift. I guess that's why detectives became my heroes.

Anyhoo -- thanks!

My hero is a schizophrenic super-sleuth who kills gangsters as a hobby. He rubs elbows with crimefighting Mimes and killer Nuns. His greatest foe is a voodoo pimp.

Face it, you're going to read my comic. [link]

This looks great man, and I agree with you Holmes was the man. This drawing would look even moodier with a dark background. Maybe more black or some more crosshatching like the jacket.

Right you are. I wasn't quite sure how to make the back ground darker, seeing as Dracula is one big black shape and blacking out the background would make him disappear. The crosshatching isn't a bad idea, I'll probably try that next time.

Thanks!

I would love to do a Holmes vs Dracula comic. Somebody call Dark Horse; I've got gold here!

(Thanks)
