Description
Meet the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse (left to right); Jarhead, Polite Nazi Stereotype, Height Complex and Strong Female Archetype. All lit quite strongly from the side.

Not that Mignola's Nazi scientists are really the Horsemen (literally or figuratively), but a speech covering the loosing of the Horsemen is followed directly by Kroenen quoting from Revelations. The end times and the Nazis' army seem to be connected, I mean.
Kroenen's politeness becomes less stereotypical when one realises that he is a) nobility b) about 66. Kurtz's height complex becomes more evident the more one wonders why he's such an angry little git. Ilsa, incidentally, must be one of the few good female figures in these books; masculine (but then so were the Pre-Raphaelite models) but sympathetic. All I can say for Klempt is that Mignola clearly likes him more than the others, and that is a great shame.

P.S. After buying the first two books about four months ago, I've only recently learned to appreciate the full strength of Mignola's work. Good on 'im.
