The introduction of Barnabas Collins (Jonathan Frid) catapulted the series to enormous success, capturing the public's imagination in a way that continues to endure today. This online fanzine will provide a place for rare photos, articles, stories, artwork, and other multimedia as a tribute to the magic and mystery that is Dark Shadows.

Comic Strip Barnabas
From the syndicated Dark Shadows comic strip, illustrated by Kenneth Bruce Bald, that ran from March of 1971 to March of 1972. This particular panel appeared in a book on werewolves that used to scare the bejeezus out of me as a child when I would check it out of the library in Glasgow, Montana. As much as I enjoy the Gold Key comics, Bald's Barnabas consistently looked like Jonathan Frid's Barnabas from the series, and thus I enjoy him a bit better.
The comic strips were collected in 1996 in a book from Kathryn Leigh Scott's (Maggie Evans) publishing company, Pomegranate Press. Used copies at a more affordable price can be found on Amazon here:
