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:
