I did love his illustrations for the comics series. The characters looked like the characters, as opposed to the horrendous stuff in the Gold Key comic book series where they looked like rejects from The Walking Dead. However, I found his stories and plots insipid, while being both dull and over-the-top. They came off looking like stuff DC would've come up with later in the show's airing. I can understand why the newspaper comic series was cancelled after one year. Of course, the illustrator took his own liberties opposed from the "bible." From what I recall, there was no Old House and Barnabas "lived" somewhere in the basements of Collinwood. Only a select number of persons were included. If I'm right, there was no Julia, no Eliot, no Maggie. It was basically the "Adventures of Barnabas" with Elizabeth and Carolyn as background characters.
