Barnabas Collins, Vampire


 My favorite Barnabas pinup; my friend Patty's mom had her scrapbooks from the 60s and let me peruse them at my leisure when I was a kid in the 80s, and I vividly remember this pasted onto one of the pages. Also, it's the cover of the first Marilyn Ross novel I read, and I loved it.

Dark Shadows Comic Strip Season 12: The Dream Curse Continues!

 Previously on Season 12 of Dark Shadows: The Comic Strip Series: Victoria Winters is unsure of where she belongs ... in the year 1969 or back in 1795? After a seance saw her spending a few days gallivanting about the Collinwood of the 18th century, she returned ... and brought with her the vengeful Angelique of that time, who possessed no knowledge of the future. Now, bitter and jealous by Barnabas' engagement to Dr. Julia Hoffman, Angelique has cast a Dream Curse, which is spreading among the residents of Collinwood and their friends like a plague ...

Nearing One MILLION Hits!

I can't believe it! (After nearly fourteen years of running this blog!) At the moment, the counter claims we're at 999,971 ... see you on the other side, kiddies! And thank you for all the support!

Let's celebrate with my favorite Dark Shadows photo of all time.

 

Dark Shadows Comic Strip Season 12: I Will Destroy You, Dr. Hoffman!

Previously on Dark Shadows: The Comic Strip Series: Angelique from 1795 -- who, only moments ago, was shot by her faithless husband Barnabas, and who, subsequently, cursed him with the mark of the vampire -- has been whisked to 1969 with no knowledge of her future ... including her marriage to Quentin Collins, who desperately wants his Angelique back. Meanwhile, Julia and Barnabas are engaged ... which does not sit well with Our Favorite Witch ...

(Sidenote: it appears that I'm about to reach one MILLION hits on this blog! That's amazing to me. Thank you to everyone who's been following me the last decade or so. I really appreciate your support! Now, enjoy!)

Dark Shadows Comic Strip Season 12: Where Is Angelique REALLY?

Previously on Dark Shadows: The Comic Strip Series: Strap yourselves in, kiddies, it's about to get COMPLEX:

After Quentin and Angelique were married, he discovered she had betrayed him with Nicholas Blair and Aristede, her warlock brother. He abandoned her, leaving her to seek solace in the mysterious and disturbing world of Parallel Time. Barnabas Collins followed her there, and witnessed her murder and disintegration at the hands of Hoffman, that world's evil vampire. When Barnabas returned to his own world, he realized he loved his Julia, and proposed to her.

Meanwhile, Quentin, deeply regretful of the way he treated Angelique, and with the help of psychic Carolyn Stoddard, attempts to summon Angelique back from the hell of Parallel Time.

Unfortunately, Victoria Winters has been time-hopping on her own, and, after one of her latest sojourns to 1795, she accidentally brought to 1969 the vengeful Angelique of the 18th century as well as the trickster spirit of Nathan Forbes. While 1795 Angelique prepares to make her presence known to her wayward husband, Barnabas, the wicked ghost of Nathan has been eyeing happy couple Chris and Joe Jennings-Haskell with a great deal of interest ...
