I found the picture that I imagine you were talking about(Robespierre is chilling with everyone evil that has ever died, and looks as if he hasn't eaten anything in several hundred years?)... Ugh. I think that probably sums up my thoughts on that...
I understand the use of tropes when applied to published works and propaganda, but, geez... There's no need to reduce history to a melodramatic anime. (Couldn't help but notice how the vast majority of those links took you to a picture of some anime character)
The same person who did that comic actually has some others that are more historically accurate (they're hidden somewhere in her site's archives...) She has a rather sad one of Saint-Just's last speech being interrupted and Robespierre and his followers getting ejected from the convention that I quite like :)
