I was wondering what had happened to this:

"Dark Shadows" Returns in October

Interesting. In the first book cover, Collinwood looks kind of like the Addams Family house, while on the second, it's clearly Lyndhurst.

I am very curious to see this! Congrats to Stuart Manning for getting the contract for this.

This is pretty exciting. Hopefully my local comic shop will carry it so I can at least check it out and see whether or not I like it.

Awesome!!!

I remember first hearing about this awhile back, on this forum, but didn't know if the project was really gonna happen or fall apart.

I want to check it out. I remember the Dark Shadows comic book from Innovation back in the early 90's. It was a good book until Innovation went out of business.

Yes, that was pretty good - and infinitely better than the Gold Key series. I was really disappointed when it ended prematurely.

Really psyched for this!
Will be waiting for the trade collection anxiously!

As much as I love the Gold Key comics -- and I do, unapologetically -- I am looking forward to seeing the original series represented in a first-class comic book, with what I assume will be artwork that flatters the characters. Is it too much to ask that Julia be depicted as a stylish woman and not a crone or drag queen?

I also hope Julia is depicted as a stylish absolutely fabulous lady, glowing like no other can...

DARK SHADOWS #2 Cover

"Barnabas Collins fears that another vampire is loose at Collinwood, while his friend Dr. Julia Hoffman finds herself in the thrall of a sinister force. As a seance is held to contact a restless spirit, Quentin Collins finds himself drawn into a dangerous mission to restore an ancient force to life."

Sounds promising.

I simply cannot wait. I will be buying these for the covers, and if the stories turn out great, that is a bonus!

Soap Vampire Barnabas Collins Returns in DARK SHADOWS Comic

Apparently not everyone is impressed:

Gag, there's some truly awful looking Dark Shadows hitting this Halloween. Dynamite scooped up the rights.

I wonder if Dynamite plans to do a crossover with Vampirella.

quentincollins · « **Reply #14 on:** August 26, 2011, 11:49:57 PM »

God I hope there's no Vampirella/DS crossover. Vampirella with a costume that would embaress the most jaded streetwalker woulldn't mesh well with DS.
