<p>preceded with a four-page introduction by famed <i>dracula</i> portrayer <b><i>christopher lee</i></b>, the comic is a faithful retelling of <b><i>bram stoker's</i></b> 1897 opus, condensed by <b><i>otto binder</i></b> and <b><i>craig tennis</i></b>, and moodily rendered by gold-through-bronze-age talent <b><i>alden mcwilliams</i></b>, whose strong draftsmanship favorably evokes his more famous contemporaries <b><i>alex raymond</i></b>, <b><i>wally wood</i></b> and <b><i>al williamson</i></b>. <b><i>bob larkin</i></b> provided the cover portrait. copies can still be found on <b><i>amazon</i></b> and <b><i>abeBooks</i></b>, so i ordered one and, after finding my nostalgia fully justified, i set about the laborious task of scanning the entire 161-page volume:<br />

<p><i>"(the illustrated) dracula"</i> was a <b><i>cheap paperback</i></b> printed on cheap newsprint to be sold to the <i>hoi polloi</i>. starkly illustrated in this unretouched scan are the <b><i>browning</i></b> of age, the <b><i>coarse texture</i></b> of the cheap pulp paper stock, the <b><i>uneven</i></b> and <b><i>patchy</i></b> application of the ink, and most challenging, <b><i>ghost impressions</i></b> left by ink from the facing page. before and after:<br />

<p>as with many bound book formats, paperbacks can be difficult to scan completely <b><i>flat</i></b>. even before the book arrived, in my original plan i had resigned myself to <b><i>cutting the pages apart</i></b>. however, despite its age, the book was surprisingly <b><i>flexible</i></b> and <b><i>resilient</i></b> and proved amenable to the considerable torsion required to hold the pages flat. thanks to the <b><i>generous gutter space</i></b> placed between the spine and the artwork, i was able to keep this classic tome <b><i>in one piece</i></b>.<br />

<p>bill barr is basically calling donald trump a <b>liar</b> right now.<br />
<p>remember when trump claimed <b>hilariously</b> to fox news's brian kilmeade that he didn't go in the bunker and <b>hide</b> because he was <b>scared</b> of the american people outside, but rather because it was time for a <b>BUNKER INSPECTION</b>, because of how he's the official white house <b>INSPECTOR BUNKER BABY?</b><br />
<p>yeah, bill barr says that is <u>not</u> it, in a monday interview with fox news's bret baier.<br />
<p>... "things were so bad that the <b>secret service recommended</b> the president go down to the bunker," mr. barr said in an interview with fox news. "we can't have that in our country."<br />
<p>... bill barr's lies are <b>conflicting</b> with donald trump's lies right now, oh how <b>sad</b>.<br />
<p>... he <u>needs</u> the lie narrative out there that there was some <b>major violence</b> happening in the streets, when all impartial accounts say <b>otherwise</b>.<br />
<p>... meanwhile, donald trump is scared of looking like a <u><b>weenus</b></u>, so he <u>needs</u> it to be true that he was simply performing his normal daytime <b>INSPECTOR BUNKER BABY</b> duties, instead of being rushed down to the bunker by the secret service for his own protection.<br />
