Last week, reading KLS's The Dark Shadows Comic Strip Book, it occurred to me that I could make my own comic strips, re-telling the classic DS story in the same daily style that Kenneth Bruce Bald utilized in the early 1970s: a full page for Sundays, three panels for the weekdays. I played around with screenshots from the series and original films, editing and tweaking them into the story I wanted to tell.
My plan is to create a series of "seasons" of this strip, using some of the familiar twists and turns from the show, maybe going off in a few different directions. This summer will explore the "Resurrection of Barnabas Collins" we all know and love; future seasons will travel backward, forward, and sideways in time. Look for a new entry every day (or as close to everyday as possible).
Enjoy!
