¶ The French cartoonist Georges Pichard (1920-2003) is known for the comic series 'Paulette'. He specialized in very sadistic artwork. Elizabeth Báthory (1560-1614) was a Hungarian countess and serial killer. She is in the Guinness Book of Records as the murderer with the most deaths to her name. Reportedly, 'Dracula' (1897) by Bram Stoker is partly based on her person.
