Mignola Wake the Devil - Castle Giurescu

I can`t believe I see what I seee... Karlstejn - old medievel castle from the Karel the IV. period here in Czech ! I have not had any idea that Mike used this in some comics....Well I do not do that often but If you ever decided part with this page, let me know PLEASE ! And congratulations, thats a great page at all !

The Smithsonian had a comic art speaker series back in the mid-90's, and one of the things Mike discussed was how he would rather reference actual places and architecture than make them up.

Ahaaa I never listened about it. Thank you for this informations. Now I`m smarter :) I remember the story about Prague Vampire, but I didn`t know he used more Czech (and world) real places and architecture.

Too Much beautiful mignola s pages in this collection!! I take this one ( if you re all right of course 😅)

I think i could killed somebody for this one 😂 amazing page!!!

I don't think I'd commit homicide to obtain this page (so, you're safe from me, at least, though you might want to take precautions around "Michael07")), but, yeah, that castle sure nuff looks pretty. It reminds me, at least a little, how some manga artists, my favorite being Mizuki Shigeru, use hyper-realistic detailing to render their backgrounds while keeping the main characters and action cartoonish.

The greatest/craziest thing about this piece is that the castle really exists - check out the comments about halfway through the stream
