Alley Oop Meets Draculina #[nn]

Dave Graue sends the prehistoric time-traveler Alley Oop on a wonderfully atmospheric detour, as this 2022 collection cover shows him riding on horseback toward a darkened castle silhouetted against a full yellow moon, bats circling in the deep blue night sky. The promise of a crossover with a vampiric character named Draculina gives the whole thing a playful Gothic flavor that feels genuinely fresh for the strip's sensibilities. It's a charming collision of cave-age adventure and classic horror atmosphere, all rendered in Graue's warm, expressive linework.
