I just read all the Anita Blake graphic novels this weekend. Some time last year, or was the year before last, I had been given Laura K. Hamilton's book Obsidian Butterfly and enjoyed it thoroughly. Of course, that was the first book of the series I read so when I get the chance, I'll start from book one.

When the graphic novel Anita Blake - Vampire Hunter: Guilty Pleasures came out I was pretty excited. Even more so when I saw that Brett Booth was the artist. I liked his art since Kindred.

Though I liked the graphic novels, I felt the art didn't push the blacks enough. Since it was a book about vampires and night, I noticed that the art didn't have much black. It's still amazing though, enough to inspire me to do this simple pin-up of the sexy vampire hunter Anita Blake.

Of course, I didn't spot many blacks here either but I will be adding to this picture in the future... with a lot of blacks.

And for all the lady fans out there, the picture just might have an appearance of Jean-Claude.
