Herbert West, everybody!
*mad applause for the problematic fave*
Herbert is literally Audrey II from Little Shop of Horrors and we all just keep feeding him like we’re Seymour.
I just finished the Johannes Cabal,books and this is kind of like seeing a comic version of him.
#Yes I know who this is #And I imagine the resemblance is not accidental
Ahahahahahaa no, no it’s not. And that’s amazing.
What’s interesting is that Herbert West in the original story is described as blond, and we think of him now with the Iconic Jeffrey Combs look even in other media where Jeffrey Combs isn’t involved. Jeffrey Combs was a bit of a shock for Stuart Gordon during auditions.
We gotta make a name for this Re-Animator/Frankenstein/Johannes Cabal/Penny Dreadful/Tales from the Borderlands group fandom, there’s a little group of us and we could use a unified tag.
I like #frankenpunk for this.
Haha, you’re right, I’d forgotten Herbert West was a blond! I’ve never actually seen the Re-Animator movie, but somehow in my head he’s always a brunet. I don’t know whether it’s the years of exposure to gifsets or if I just associate him with the Byronic look.
(Never mind that Byron was actually a redhead.)
It’s not like it’s a stretch, though. Jonathan Howard has so much fun working in his Lovecraft that I’m pretty sure one of the purposes of those books was a drinking game. My favorite was when Cabal walked past the intersection of West and Carter in the third book.
