DS & Innovation Comics.

[Gerard]

Beyond the fact that the illustrations in the Gold Key comic series were simply ghastly, one thing that irked me was that Barnabas (or the thing drawn to look like Barnabas) virtually ALWAYS wore his cape-coat.  He never took it off.  Day or night, it was on.  Whatever season, it was on.  If he was having tea at Collinwood with Liz (who looked like Madam from Waylan and Madam after a nose job), it was on.  When he slept in his coffin (if he was a vampire in a particular story), it was on.  When he travelled in time to no matter what century, it was on.  I recall only a couple panels where he didn't have that thing on in almost the entire collection I had purchased.  For cryin' out loud what was he, a nun who couldn't take off her habit?

When the news came out about the new Innovation DS series on the Comics Buyers Guide, it mentioned
about the old Gold Key DS comic books where it said that Barnabas had his own power of time travel. I
considered that more like science fiction than gothic horror.

Funny,  I consider that more like fantasy than science-fiction, but I know what you mean.   

Spoiler:



Barnabas did "will" himself back to 1796, though.

Spoiler:
You're right. Barnabas did willed himself back to 1796 with the help of the ghost of Peter Bradford.
But I don't know if it was the same on the Gold Key DS comics.
