I know he wears makeup, so why not paint him next to makeup?

Duckvember Day 13: Otherworldly Duck

I can imagine Duck Dodgers and Duck Avenger having the craziest adventures in the universe and beyond.

But nothing stops them from watching the movie of their comic book idol, Tremendous Terence. Sure, it would be great if it weren't for the fact that Uno is giving away so many spoilers before entering the theater.

PS: I don't know how to make movie posters hehe

I invoke you in your aspect as possessor of arcane comics knowledge.

A friend told me about an old series called Count Duckula ( https://imgur.com/gallery/count-duckula-celebrity-no-21-eAXNJB9 ). The titular protagonist has a teleporting castle. My friend and I are both curious about where it came from. We know that Dracula's abode in Castlevania can teleport, and my friend has some vague recollection about another teleporting vampire castle from Eastern European myth, but feel far from certain that those fed directly into Count Duckula. Do you have any pertinent knowledge, any guess as to a root of the concept or common source? We'd be delighted if you shared any.

Hm. It's tough to say which is the earlier example. The Castlevania series debuted in 1986, while Duckula's teleporting castle first appears in his self-titled spinoff series in 1988 (there's no mention of it in his earlier appearances in Danger Mouse); however, Dracula's castle in Castlevania didn't initially teleport – it just magically appeared in a new location each time he was resurrected, and was immobile thereafter. The idea of Dracula using his castle as a means of transportation didn't become formalised as part of the franchise's lore until later on.

Of course, vampires or vampire-like villains with magically appearing and/or teleporting castles show up in a lot of 1980s media. I strongly suspect that patient zero for the trope's popularisation during that period is the 1983 Star Wars pastiche Krull – though Krull is so blatantly derivative that it's very unlikely it originated the idea, either. I'm not sure where Krull would have gotten it, but if you wanted to chase down how the vampire-with-a-teleporting-castle trope entered into the lexicon of contemporary popular media, that's where I'd start.
