Halloween with Michael Mongello

20 Oct

October, 20, 2011

It’s Halloween, I just had to toss The Zombie into the mix.

When you think of Halloween you think of monsters, and I think of classic monsters like Frankenstein, Dracula, the Wolf Man and the Mummy. Mike Mongello does too, and better yet, he thinks of them in their classic Universal movie looks.

First up is my favorite, Bela Lugosi as Dracula.

Not to be outdone, here is Boris Karloff as The Mummy and Frankenstein.

Look at the expression in those eyes.

Not to be left out, here is Christopher Lee as Hammer’s version of Dracula. For my money, Christopher Lee is the definitive Dracula.

Here’s Mike’s own take on those characters.

But wait, there’s more! The Bride of Frankenstein, The Wolf Man, and The Creature From the Black Lagoon.

Now let’s wrap this all up with some monster jams and an amazing banner.

All of Mike Mongello’s artwork can be found on his site, www.supermonge.com.

Readers of this blog have long admired the work of Michael “Supermonge” Mongello. I loved his Superman so much that I gave him the whole blog to show off his stuff. Once wasn’t enough so I turned over the blog to his Star Wars work. And lastly, when it was time for a banner to celebrate my 500th post I turned to Monge yet again.

To say I like his stuff is an understatement. And honestly, he keeps getting better.

He does it all. Hop over to www.supermonge.com see his heroes, his Titans, his cars, his women, all top of the line.

But first, check out his JLA. This is one is a monster! (Click on it to enlarge- and I mean it, this one is big.)

Next up, the Big Gun of the Summer, Green Lantern:

Straight out of DC’s Flashpoint event, The Flash!

Here are two characters who, pre-Crisis, were Earth-1 and Earth-2 counterparts, Power Girl and Supergirl:

And another duo, Green Arrow and Black Canary:

Plastic Man:

In her classic fishnets, what else? Zatanna!

Next up, two guys you usually don’t think of when you think JLA but wait until you see Black Lightning and Dr. Fate:

We’ve seen Green Lantern and Green Arrow, so here’s the green Martian Manhunter:

Next, DC’s Big Three:

Another orignal member of the JLA, Aquaman:

This is another classic team-up, Hawkman and The Atom:

DC is launching 52 titles, there’s no room for art like this?

Mike Monge can often be found appearing at comic cons so if he’s at one by you, make sure you stop by and get a sketch.

And here’s a bonus, Green Arrow solo. (Ollie always liked playing the field.)
