Podcasts about captain kronos

Captain Kronos – Vampire Hunter is a 1974 British swashbuckling action horror film, written and directed by Brian Clemens in his directorial debut. Clemens was celebrated for his work as a screenwriter, particularly for his contributions to British television series. Prior to Captain Kronos, he wrote and produced Dr. Jekyll and Sister Hyde for Hammer. Other films he wrote that fall into and circle around our areas of interest include And Soon the Darkness (which he wrote with Dalek creator Terry Nation), See No Evil (the 1971 Mia Farrow film,), The Golden Voyage of Sinbad, The Watcher in the Woods (one of Disney's forays into horror and one of Ross's all-time favorites), and one of the most bizarre sequels of all time—Highlander II: The Quickening. According to his son Samuel, Clemens' last words were, "I did quite a good job," spoken after watching an episode of The Avengers.In Captain Kronos, the titular character is played by Horst Janson, famous in Germany for his role in Salto Mortale, where he portrayed a trapeze artist. He later became familiar to younger audiences as "Horst" in Sesamstrasse, the German adaptation of Sesame Street, which he hosted from 1980 to 1983. The Captain's voice was dubbed in this film due to Janson's strong German accent, with Julian Holloway taking on the task. Holloway, who featured in eight Carry On films before moving into voice-over work, has recently voiced Prime Minister Almec and Admiral Kilian in Star Wars: The Clone Wars. He also appeared in Doctor Who's last story of the classic era, Survival. In 1976, he had a brief relationship with Tessa Dahl, daughter of Patricia Neal and Roald Dahl, which produced one daughter, the author and former model Sophie Dahl, who was born the following year. The supporting cast includes John Carson as Dr. Marcus, a physician who enlists Kronos's help to investigate strange deaths in his village. Carson, often noted for his voice that bears a striking resemblance to James Mason's, was a Hammer regular with appearances in Taste the Blood of Dracula and The Plague of the Zombies. Caroline Munro appears as Carla, a Romanian girl who becomes Kronos's feisty sidekick. Known for her glamorous looks, Munro rose to fame as the "Lamb's Navy Rum" poster girl, a role she held for ten years. She initially caught Hammer's attention through her work on The Abominable Dr. Phibes, where she played Vincent Price's silent, deceased wife, and its sequel Dr. Phibes Rises Again (check out episode 10 for our review of the first of those two "classics"). As well as this film, she of course appeared in the subject of our very first podcast episode, Dracula A.D. 1972. Outside Hammer, Munro went on to play the slave girl Margiana in The Golden Voyage of Sinbad, the princess in At the Earth's Core, and the deadly Bond girl Naomi in The Spy Who Loved Me, turning down the role of Ursa in Superman to accept it. The film's score was composed by Laurie Johnson, who, from the 1960s to the 1980s, composed over fifty themes and scores, including the theme used on This Is Your Life (entitled "Gala Performance"), The Avengers (from 1965), Animal Magic (entitled "Las Vegas"), Jason King, The New Avengers, and The Professionals. Though Captain Kronos was shot in 1972, it was delayed and eventually released in 1974. The film was intended to kick off a series featuring Kronos and his companions, but no sequels were made—although there have been a number of follow up comic book adventures.

We kick off this year's 13 Days of Halloween series with a movie from Hammer studios. Captain Kronos: Vampire Hunter tells the story of Captain Kronos, who is summoned to a remote village to, er, hunt vampires. Listen as Matt & Ashley discuss this Hammer Horror classic.

Join us for Captain Kronos, Vampire Hunter. Plus musical guest Kosuke Hashida appears courtesy of Horror Pain Gore Death Productions (HorrorPainGoreDeath.com). Plus a major announcement about Season 19.

Listen, our release schedule is hit and miss at best. We will have a new episode up for you eventually but for now just enjoy this oldie that needs more love!

This week we have a look at the 1974 film Captain Kronos – Vampire Hunter . This is Episode #397! Captain Kronos – Vampire Hunter is a 1974 British swashbuckling action horror film, written and directed by Brian Clemens, produced by Clemens and Albert Fennell for Hammer Film Productions, and starring Horst Janson, John Carson, Shane Briant, and Caroline Munro. The music score was composed by Laurie Johnson, supervised by Philip Martell. Belatedly released on 7 April 1974, the film was intended as the first in a series focused on the title character and his companions. Due to the film's violence and sexual subtext, Captain Kronos was rated R in North America. This was Clemens' only film as a director.

After attaining info on the movie's last renter, the kids find themselves afflicted by a dark, debilitating force and struggle to reach his house on the outskirts of town. As the hour grows late, they try their hardest to convince the eccentric Mr. Kingsley to hand over his copy so that they may complete their vital mission.

Having discovered the wrong tape inside the Captain Kronos case, the kids ride back to Valley Video in a furry, demanding answers and amends from the clerk. After an interesting conversation with another customer in the store, the boys attempt various methods of subterfuge in order to locate the missing movie.

1980s Jupiter Springs, California: Junior high schoolers Plunger, Dickey, and Chip meet up at Plunger's detached garage for a weekend sleepover. Well aware of Plunger and Dickey's interest in vampires, Chip mentions an old movie he heard about called Captain Kronos: Vampire Hunter. Due to its rarity in VHS format, Plunger knows the movie only by its legendary reputation, but now, with renewed interest, the three kids set out on a marshmallow fluff-fueled quest to find a copy before the night is over.

The importance of the movie poster is almost lost in this day and age. With the internet flooding social media with trailers, photos, and all sorts of advertisements, the poster art might get lost in the shuffle. But decades ago, it was the first thing used to promote an upcoming feature film. It had to reach out and grab hold of your eyes, telling your brain you need to see this film. Shortly after that, the poster collecting started. Why do we collect posters? What kinds are there? What is it about it that still holds a spell over movie goers? Join us and our special guest, Alan Tromp, as we try to answer all of those questions and more, as we discuss our own obsessions with movie posters, from one-sheets to British Quads to the French Grande size!

BLUTSAUGER, NEHMT EUCH IN ACHT!"Wir befinden uns im frühen 19. Jahrhundert. Der rätselhafte Captain Kronos zieht mit seinem buckligen Assistenten Professor Grost durch die Lande. Kronos trägt die Uniform der Königlichen Wache, nun aber führt er einen gänzlich anderen Krieg. Die schöne Zigeunerin Carla erkennt während einer Mitfahrtgelegenheit, dass es sich bei Kronos und Grost um professionelle Vampirjäger handelt. Nun sollen die beiden einem Dorf helfen, deren junge Frauen plötzlich alt und abgemagert aufgefunden wurden… ein Fall für Captain Kronos!" (Klappentext "Captain Kronos"-DVD retromania)Unvermeidbar stößt der geneigte Horrorfan eines Tages auf die Hammer Film Productions. Die britische Lowbudget-Schmiede hatte in den 50ern bis 80ern ihre Hochphase und flutete den Weltmarkt mit Massen an kurzweiligen Abenteuer-, Krimi- und Gruselfilmchen.Im Jahr 1974 hatte Hammer Films bereits seinen Zenit überschritten, zu stark war die internationale Konkurrenz und zu schwach die Finanzlage. Trotzdem stellten die Entscheider dem britischen Fernsehautor Brian Clemens ein kleines Budget bereit, um seine verrückte Vorstellung von einem Abenteuer-Vampirfilm mit Mantel-und-Degen-Action um ein mysteriöses Heldenduo umzusetzen. Heraus kam hierbei CAPTAIN KRONOS: VAMPIRJÄGER, der trotz Kassenabsturz über die Zeit zum Kultfilm aufstieg.

Check the shownotes on the blog: https://battleswithbitsofrubber.com/ This second part of our chat with Ian and Cliff takes a look back at the company they had together, Creature Concepts - or as Ian puts it ‘How not to run a business'. Ian and Cliff mentioned Blood On The Satan's Claw (1971) and I watched it on their recommendation.  It whetted my appetite, and I had to rewatch some of my favourites, The Creeping Flesh, Captain Kronos, Vampire Hunter and of course The Curse Of Frankenstein. It also reminds me of the joys of direct-applied makeups. Things like burns, or wound interiors for example have many random details which can be created in different materials. Sculpting in plastiline is the usual method for creating the forms in appliances, but some things are better created - or at least started - using other techniques.  Many thanks as always for your time checking the stuff out.

The Summer of Hammer begins! The legendary British studio receives the multi-episode treatment that it truly deserves. First up, Hammer calls in a favor from Hong Kong, as the Shaw Brothers lend their kung-fu expertise, in a martial arts/horror spectacular! The seven brothers, and their one sister, do battle with the lord of all vampires, Dracula! Oh, and seven other vampires. That's right, it's The Legend of the 7 Golden Vampires (1974)! And then from there, it's more traditional Hammer horror territory, as a master swordsman/vampire hunter is summoned to a small village, to put an end to the scourge of the undead! After dispatching some local ruffians and putting the moves on Caroline Munro, of course. And burying some dead toads? I'm afraid so. Grab your swords and whip 'em out, it's Captain Kronos: Vampire Hunter (1974)!

This week we get together again with Erik Kristopher Myers, and William Hopkins to talk about Hammer Horror films.   Here is a right up with some links provided by William Hopkins.   Best of Hammer Horror and related films...   Despite their lavish look and many positive qualities, Hammer's horror films were made as "programmers" – quickly and cheaply made entertainment product that was almost always released as part of a double bill. So the films should be viewed and judged in that light.   The Curse of Frankenstein (1957): The first in Hammer's Frankenstein series. An enormously successful (and controversial) film in its day – and it still holds up very well even now. You can buy or rent the film on YouTube here: https://youtu.be/FCNrxjaVf2M The Horror of Dracula (1958): The first in Hammer's Dracula series. Inventive script by Jimmy Sangster; clever direction by Hammer's best director, Terence Fisher; beautiful cinematography, sets, costumes. And a rousing, memorable climax that Hammer never topped. One of the top five Dracula adaptations. Buy or rent on YouTube: https://youtu.be/atQr_Eac11k The Revenge of Frankenstein (1958): The second in Hammer's Frankenstein series. A smart, well-crafted follow-up to the first film. Buy or rent on YouTube: https://youtu.be/IkXx3MeZNvU Brides of Dracula (1960): The second in Hammer's Dracula series. A lavish, colorful, fast-paced gothic melodrama that doesn't suffer at all from the absence of Dracula himself. A favorite of mine; I think it's one of Hammer's best. Buy or rent on YouTube: https://youtu.be/NEQHTxU63ls The Evil of Frankenstein: (1964): The first of the Hammer Frankenstein films to be produced in cooperation with Universal (who made the original Frankenstein in 1931). With an infusion of cash from Universal, this is one of most visually impressive of Hammer's Frankenstein films, with great sets that recall the Universal original. But the monster is one of the weakest of the Hammer series and the script is not up to par. Not one of Hammer's best but still enjoyable. Buy or rent on YouTube: https://youtu.be/cTyJWBF22zA Dracula: Prince of Darkness (1966): Christopher Lee returns to the role of Dracula - though he has no lines and is only briefly onscreen - in the third film in Hammer's series. Very well produced, and for once a genuinely suspenseful and even scary Dracula film.  Frankenstein Created Woman (1967): An off-beat entry in Hammer's Frankenstein series. Not the best of the series, but surprisingly well-done and enjoyable.      Dracula Has Risen From the Grave (1968): Fourth in the Hammer Dracula series, with Christopher Lee returning in the role of the Count. Entertaining, smart, fast-paced. Lee is only on screen briefly and has little dialog, but his snarling, red-eyed, demonic appearance in this film (and it's follow-up) are probably the reason he came to be thought of, by a generation of film fans, as the ultimate screen Dracula. Apparently, at the time this was Hammer's highest grossing film. Buy or rent on YouTube: https://youtu.be/s9gGa4t4sHc Taste the Blood of Dracula (1970): Christopher Lee had determined not to play Dracula again, so Hammer cast Ralph Bates as his replacement for this film. (Also in 1970, Bates briefly replaced Peter Cushing in Hammer's Frankenstein series.) But at the last minute Hammer managed to change Lee's mind, so here he is again - with Bates shifted over to the role of Dracula's would-be acolyte. Beautifully shot, fun, solid Hammer entertainment, though not the best of the Dracula films. One of two (!) Dracula films Hammer released in 1970. Buy or rent on YouTube: https://youtu.be/VjoPIXZW09Q Scars of Dracula (1970): Christopher Lee is back again in one of the weaker entries in the Dracula series. Handsomely produced and not devoid of entertainment value, but it often feels tired and tedious, with occasional bursts of unnecessarily brutal violence. Lee, though, has more screen time and dialog in this entry than any of the other Dracula films he did for Hammer. After this one, Warner Brothers, which was financing and distributing Hammer's films in the US, insisted they bring the Dracula character into the modern world, so this is the last "period piece" Hammer Dracula film in which Lee played the Count. Buy or rent on YouTube: https://youtu.be/ZMbH-KyHsXs Frankenstein Must Be Destroyed (1970): One of the best of the Hammer Frankenstein series. Fast-paced, beautifully shot and performed, with a smart, inventive script. A favorite of mine. Buy or rent on YouTube: https://youtu.be/cI-fG0Ov2Pc The Horror of Frankenstein (1970): Widely viewed as a misstep when it was released, this is Hammer's attempt at a parody of their own films. (Possibly, a reaction to the popularity of Andy Warhol's Frankenstein and Roman Polanski's Fearless Vampire Killers, which were both open and unabashed homage/parodies of the Hammer films.)  I think Ralph Bates is a worthy stand-in for Peter Cushing and I think the film is smart and funny,  though it clearly is not the best of the Hammer Frankensteins. Incidentally, that's David Prowse as the monster. He would go on to play Darth Vadar in Star Wars. He's wearing a significantly skimpier costume here. Buy or rent on YouTube: https://youtu.be/yU_D11OlNSs Dracula A.D. 1972 (1972): First of two Hammer Dracula films set in the 1970s. This is the film Marvel comics appears to be imitating with its Tombs of Dracula books. The first fifteen minutes of the film, which appear to be more inspired by A Clockwork Orange than anything else, are idiotic and annoying, but the film as a whole is an example of the kind of colorful, dynamic genre storytelling that Hammer excelled at. (Even at this late stage.) Peter Cushing gives a master class in the use of cigarettes and other props in screen acting. Sexy, beautiful, Caroline Munro also makes an appearance here. She would go on to appear in Hammer's Captain Kronos, Vampire Hunter, as well as the Bond film, The Spy Who Loved Me, and Ray Harryhausen's Sinbad film, The Golden Voyage of Sinbad. Dracula A.D. 1972 is apparently a favorite of Tim Burton. The musical score, which was derided as being wildly inappropriate for a Dracula film when the film was first released, has now developed a cult following, as has the film itself.

And the last time Lee would play Dracula to Cushing's Van Helsing. (Cushing would go on to play Van Helsing in one more Hammer Dracula film, Legend of the Seven Golden Vampires.) This film's story follows directly from the story of the previous film, which is unusual for Hammer. (They usually didn't stress perfect continuity in their Dracula or Frankenstein series. ) I think I prefer this one to Dracula A.D. 1972, but both are fun, colorful and reasonably fast-paced, though the stories in both films are illogical and border on the silly. One aspect of The Satanic Rites of Dracula inspired a key plot point in my film, Sleepless Nights. Joanna Lumley, who would go on to achieve fame in the popular Brit comedy show, Absolutely Fabulous, plays Van Helsing's daughter here.

After the commercial and critical failure of the series' attempted reboot, Horror of Frankenstein, Ralph Bates is out and Peter Cushing is back as Baron Frankenstein. This is a smart, well-crafted finale for the series, though it's an unusually grim and bleak film for the series, and the monster (once again played by David Prowse) is one of the more absurd iterations of the monster.

This unusual mash-up of two exploitation film genres (decades before From Dusk Till Dawn) was the result of a co-producing deal between Hammer and Sir Run Run Shaw, the legendary Hong Kong film producer. Surprisingly well-done and entertaining, especially if you're a kung fu film fan. The appearance of John Forbes-Robinson as Dracula at the film's climax is its most disappointing moment. Heavily made up and speaking in a ridiculously ominous voice, he looks less like Christopher Lee's Dracula and more like someone made up for Halloween trick-or-treating. The film struggled to find distribution in the US, as was the case with Satanic Rites of Dracula. Both were eventually re-cut, retitled and dumped on the market by "Dynamite Films," an exploitation film distributor. After Dynamite Films went out of business, both Satanic Rites and 7 Golden Vampires entered into the public domain, a status they have been rescued from by Warner, which has asserted its copyright and recently released Blu-ray editions of the films. Years later, Sir Run Run Shaw would also co-produce Blade Runner. Hammer would make just two more films after Legend of the 7 Golden Vampires: To the Devil, A Daughter, with Christopher Lee and Richard Widmark, and a remake of Hitchcock's The Lady Vanishes, with Elliot Gould and Cybil Shepard.

(He's responsible for casting Diana Rigg as Mrs. Peel.) The film shows the influence of the Sergio Leone spaghetti western films and may itself have served as an influence on Marvel's comic and film series character, Blade. Interesting and memorable.  Watch FOR FREE on Hammer's Official YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/RsWAVsRefSg Quatermass & the Pit (1967): One of Hammer's best, based on Nigel Kneale's groundbreaking British TV serial. Science fiction with supernatural horror overtones. Loaded with great ideas. Echoes of this film can be seen in The X-Files among other TV series and films. Well performed and shot.  A favorite of mine.  The Mummy (1959): While Hammer's first two big hits, Curse of Frankenstein and Horror of Dracula, were ostensibly adaptations of novels in the public domain and not sequels or remakes of Universal's classic horror films from the 30s, the studio's great success led to collaborations with Universal, such as Evil of Frankenstein, and licensing arrangements that allowed them to remake Universal's copyrighted material. Universal's 1932 film, The Mummy, was not based on a novel in the public domain, it was an original screenplay that led to a franchise that has so far resulted in ten movies from 1932 to 2017, so Universal unquestionably owned the copyright to the story and characters, and when Hammer decided to add The Mummy to their roster of monsters, they needed a licensing arrangement with Universal. They got one, which allowed them to use characters and plot points not just from Universal's first Mummy film, but from several of its sequels. In return Universal got the distribution rights to the film, which was so successful in its original release that Hammer ended up cranking out three sequels, the last one hitting the screens in 1971. I have to admit that while I revere the 1932 Universal original, I was never a fan of any of the Universal Mummy sequels, which I considered tedious, and so the 1959 production of The Mummy was one Hammer film I avoided, never seeing it as a child, teenager or young adult. In fact, I only saw it for the first time about two years ago. I sought it out, finally, because I had begun to develop a special appreciation for the work of director Terence Fisher. I'm glad I did, because it's definitely in the front rank of Hammer films. It has the lavish, richly colorful look that was by then a hallmark of Hammer productions; it's smart, well-paced, tightly scripted and has a surprisingly nuanced performance, by Christopher Lee, of the title character. In his portrayal of the creature in Curse of Frankenstein and the Count in Horror of Dracula, Lee showed that even when he had little or no dialog, he could bring a degree of depth to monster characters through physicality alone, and he does the same here. He's very much the rampaging monster at times, but his eyes and his body language create an impression of a mummy that has thoughts, emotions and dimensions to its personality that aren't even hinted at in the Universal sequels or in Hammer's own sequels. (In two of Hammer's Mummy movies, the mummy's face is hidden behind bandages, so no emoting is necessary.) Buy or rent The Mummy (1959) on YouTube: https://youtu.be/uojNB-SbDEo The Devil Rides Out (1968): This may be my favorite Hammer film. It's another Terence Fisher film, and another with Christopher Lee in the lead. It's based on a terrible novel by a terrible writer, Dennis Wheatley, but the screenwriter, Richard Matheson (of I Am Legend, Duel, Hell House and Twilight Zone fame) does a terrific job of finding all that is exciting, suspenseful and entertaining in the novel, while weeding out most of the dumb, racist, reactionary stuff Wheatley was famous for. (While he's almost entirely forgotten today, and his books are largely out of print, he was, for a time, one of the best selling authors in the English language.) Some of the story ideas in The Devil Rides Out made their way into my story for Demon Resurrection. My villain, Toth, is essentially Mocata, the villainous cult leader played with such elan by the great Charles Gray. In fact, Demon Resurrection could be seen as one half The Devil Rides Out, and one half Night of the Living Dead. For once, Lee has an enormous amount of dialog, and he delivers it with speed and style, punctuating each line with flourishes of his hands and eyebrows. One could say this is "hand and eyebrow acting" at its most entertaining. The rest of the cast is equally good, with Grey giving the screen one of its most urbane villains. (He would later bring his wit and style to the role of Blofeld in the Bond film, Diamonds are Forever.) The film was not a big hit for Hammer when it came out. 1968 was the year of Rosemary's Baby and perhaps critics and audiences found The Devil Rides Out a bit too old-fashioned. But I love it, for all its absurdities and melodramatic excesses. The Hound of the Baskervilles (1959): The same year Hammer's first Mummy movie came out, Hammer released its one and only Sherlock Holmes adaptation. Seeking to capitalize on their newfound fame as purveyors of horror product, they naturally turned to the Holmes adventure that had the most pronounced supernatural overtones, The Hound of the Baskervilles. Their biggest star, Peter Cushing was a natural choice to play Holmes, and he does so with great wit, style and energy. (He would go on to play Holmes in a BBC series in 1965.) Their other biggest star, Christopher Lee got a lesser role in the film, not as Watson but instead as Sir Henry Baskerville, the film's romantic lead. (He'd go on to play Holmes in a 1962 German film, with Terence Fisher directing, and in two leaden American TV movies in the early 90s.) I've always thought of the Universal 1939 version of this story, with Basil Rathbone, as the definitive film version, but I've always enjoyed this one as well. Cushing is in the upper tier of actors who have played the character, and the film itself, like most of the best Hammer films, is colorful, fast moving and stylish. Buy or rent on YouTube: https://youtu.be/wMwMGhZBAJU The Lost Continent (1968): The same year Hammer released The Devil Rides Out, it also released this film adaptation of another Dennis Wheatley novel. This one is more adventure than horror, and it has what must be the wackiest plot of any Hammer film, involving the crew and passengers of a tramp steamer loaded with explosive cargo, getting lost in the Sargasso Sea and discovering a secret civilization made up of pirates and the descendents of Spanish Conquistadors. Oh, and there's giant lobsters and killer seaweed to deal with as well. It's a blast. There are several more interesting and entertaining Hammer films that are worth catching, but if you see only those I've mentioned in this email, you'll have a pretty good overview of the company's output. For what it's worth, my favorites are: 1.) The Devil Rides Out 2.) Quatermass and the Pit 3.) Brides of Dracula 4.) Frankenstein Must Be Destroyed 5.) Horror of Dracula 6.) Curse of Frankenstein Lee and Cushing also appeared in a number of films for Hammer's chief competitor during the 50s, 60s & 70s: Amicus Films. Amicus is probably best known for producing the first film adaptations of the EC horror comics, Tales from the Crypt and The Vault of Horror. Their specialty was the portmanteau or anthology film – collections of several short horror stories, often by writers like Robert Bloch, with a wrap-around story holding it all together. Their EC adaptations are great fun (and were big hits in their day) and the company turned out a number of other entertaining productions including three Edgar Rice Burroughs adaptations in the 70s, The Land that Time Forgot, The People That Time Forgot and At the Earth's Core. One has to have a pretty high tolerance for men in rubber dinosaur suits to enjoy these films, but I have fond memories of them from seeing them in local theaters when they were first released. (Hammer also made a couple of dinosaur films, one of which, One Million Years, BC, was among their biggest hits in the 1960s, and made a star of Raquel Welch. The dinosaurs in that film, however, are the work of the great Ray Harryhausen, so they're of a higher order of quality than the Amicus efforts, which are perhaps superior to the Japanese monster films, but probably look pretty silly to modern, post-Jurassic Park audiences.) If, after sampling Hammer's offerings, you'd like to venture into Amicus territory, let me know and I'll send you a list of links to their best films. For now though, I'll just leave you with one Amicus title, their first film, produced before they'd even settled on their company name: Horror Hotel, aka The City of the Dead (1960), is a wonderfully atmospheric and effective tale of witches and occultism starring Christopher Lee. It's well worth checking out. It can be viewed FREE on YouTube here: https://youtu.be/W7As-qun8MI   And finally, there's Horror Express (1972), one of the great pairings of Hammer stars Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing, but ironically not a Hammer film. It's a beautifully produced science-fiction/horror piece that gives us an idea of what Murder on the Orient Express might've been like if it had been written by Lovecraft. I saw this in the theater when it first came out and it's been a favorite of mine ever since, although I've had to settle for grainy washed-out prints in recent years. (Such is the fate of many films that fall into the public domain.)

Artist Tom Mandrake talks about the influence of comic books during his youth, being a student and teacher at The Kubert School of Art and his best know work for DC comics, The Spectre.   Tom's latest work with Dan Abnett, Captain Kronos: Vampire Hunter, is published by Titan Comics/Hammer Horror. How is the Captain Kronos comic today different from the 1974 film and comic adaptations of 1970s published in The House Horror magazine? What are Tom's thoughts on working with pencil and ink versus digitally creating art ? How can a colorist enhance or detract from the black and white line art in a comic book? Is the role of an inker in comics becoming obsolete?  And what does Tom have planned for the future?  All this and much more on Creator Talks!   Captain Kronos Vampire Hunter comic https://titan-comics.com/c/1092-captain-kronos/   More about Tom Mandrake http://www.tommandrake.com   The Podcast www.creatortalks.com
