DS included in a new French coffee-table book on images of Vampires

[Gothick]

I was surprised this evening when browsing through a new French coffee-table book on images of Vampires across the centuries and countries to find a two page spread on Dark Shadows (there was no French translation of the title; it was given in English).  Apart from stating that the series only ran from 1968 to 1971 and that the Ross books stopped in '72 (my memory is that they ran a bit later than that), it was a fairly accurate and well written entry.  It included two Marilyn Ross book covers plus a full page image of Barnabas baring his fangs in 1967. 

I don't know whether the series was ever shown in France.  It was fascinating that so much space in the book was given to it.  This was mainly a picture book so two pages (which included perhaps a half page of text) was quite a bit.  Forever Knight and some other US shows of earlier periods did not seem to be mentioned, although True Blood and the Twitlight series got plenty of coverage.

For anyone who reads French, the author's name is Jean Marigny (which sounds like a possible pseudonym; either that, or he comes from a very old family).

I looked at the book at work--I work for a large University library, and we collect extensively not only from Europe, but all around the world.

I didn't remember exactly when they ended - but I dug mine out and the last one, Barnabas, Quentin and the Vampire Beauty, was published in March of '72.
