I'm at least hoping that's what the giant stake is for. @danlalan I think that might be a reference to the original Lost Boys movie where the Grandpa at the end drives through a wall and drives an enormous stake through the heart of the head vampire, thereby saving all the infected from a life of vampirism.

I remember an awesome strip in a British comic in the late 80s (2000 AD? Crisis?) which had the Mystery Machine in a vampire-infested post-apocalyptic Russia. Fred was a cigar-chewing cynic, I think Velma had an exe-patch... I think it ran for one or two episodes only, and the names were probably changed for copyright reasons. Was it part of the Zenith universe? Hmmm... Anyone remember more? Adam This is fabulous, but has been done before.

I love the stenciled MISERY and the gear on top. The only possible thing I might have done differently is to have the RIP marking add each letter one at a time. Like the original painting was "RIP S", then have "+F" added beside it, with "+D" scrawled in below, just to increase the sense of a progressing backstory. I hope that's not rude, to make a comment on a finished work... This is brilliant. I love the stenciled MISERY and the gear on top.
