Can't decide if I prefer the regular or variant. Although I do own the regular.

You know what I find interesting that adds to his pieces, the paper stock selected. The visible artifacts in the paper that pop up from place to place. I first starting noticing the pulp fibers (if that's what are they called?) in the Mummy print. They appeared again on Planet of the Apes, Tron Reg and the Dracula pieces. His design allows for the paper to be a part of the art and it's beautiful to see.

It is so
classy. Like a crisp tuxedo or a menu at a really nice restaurant.
This really is a great photo. Really drew my attention to the intricacies of the lettering that I had previously failed to notice.
Well done camera man

I wish the reds and blacks were more similar, but I got the Dracula so my Mummy wouldn't be so lonely. Unfortunately, I don't ever see them being triplets... I don't know if I could ever pull the trigger for the going rates of a Phantom or Bride. I'm not so keen on the Wolfman, but then again, Billy hasn't posted expert photography of the Wolfman, yet.

For the Mummy the red on the reg is deeper than it looks in the jpeg. And much deeper on the variant.
Here's my reg, lol

Damn billy, and I always thought I was bad off with the random flaws in my Ansins

That picture pains me

I've gotta move some stuff around to dig out some prints to sell. I'll grab a pic of my Bride's ink flake and Mummy variant with the largest edge bump I've seen

Where and when did that happen??
Also, is the repair worth the outlay? This is about $200 on the secondary market... I didn't think Poster Mountain were cheap...
