Heroic Dog in a Vampire Castle (Comic Book Scene)

In a grand vampire castle hall, a brave dog stands in a dramatic comic-book style panel. Bold black ink lines, high-contrast shadows, and halftone textures. The heroic dog, a sleek German Shepherd wearing a crimson cape and a collar with a tiny bat emblem, poses dynamically with one paw raised. Gothic surroundings include gargoyles on stone arches, tall stained-glass windows casting red and purple light, torches flickering along the walls, and shadows of bats flitting overhead. Cobwebs cling to corners. Speech balloons burst with BARK! while a caption reads Tonight, the castle's secrets are mine! Rich, saturated colors with split-toning, exaggerated perspective, and dynamic action typical of classic superhero comics.
