Van Helsing 2

This is my latest cartoon for the science fiction magazine SFX. I have a regular spot in the mag called Development Hell where I depict up and coming films. This can be tricky some months as the films haven't been made and sometimes I don't know who will be the star, who will direct it and sometimes even the plot. Usually we have a title as in the case of the sequel to Van Helsing. This time the star is
 Tom Cruise and that's all we know. So I was asked to do a riff on the Universal monsters from the first film and add any more that I could think of. Here's how it came out. This was great fun to draw as I love all those old black and white horror films and my second favourite film ever is The Hunchback of Notre Dame starring Charles Laughton.
