SCOTTOBER DAY 28: The Gorbals vampire
In 1954 a vampire with iron teeth roamed the necropolis. Children went out to hunt it, most of them not knowing what a vampire was or how to kill one.

I love this by Frank Quitely - Vincent Deighan - drawn to publicise the play Gorbals Vampire by Johnny McKnight. He is also well known for collaborations for Batman and Robin, New X-Men, We3, All-Star Superman, also The Authority and Jupiter's Legac- quite frankly a great talent! https://t.co/L3P0exXWg7

in 1954 children in Glasgow reported a "7-foot tall monster with sharp iron teeth" that had already killed and drunk the blood of two boys.

For weeks local police encountered roving groups of kids trying to hunt down this 'Gorbals Vampire'.
