Dark Shadows (1966-1971) was a soap opera with an emphasis on the supernatural that has garnered a cult following in the years since it left the air. 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.

Dark Shadows Comic Strip Season 9: Episode One
Now that season 9 of our ongoing Dark Shadows based comic strip
has concluded (returning summer 2022!), I'll do what I did last year (and
the year before) (and the year before that) (etc.) and present them weekly in a digest format, where you
can enjoy seven daily strips as one entire "episode." (I believe they used to call these "reruns.")
TIP: For the color "Sunday" strips, right click so you can open them in
a separate tab ... then you can enlarge them so you can actually read
the word balloons.
Enjoy!
Previously, on Dark Shadows (or, the finale of Season 8) ... Warlock Sebastian Shaw, recruited by Elizabeth Collins Stoddard to rid the great house of its evil, conducted an exorcism that ripped apart the fabric of time, and sent Barnabas back to the 18th century, Angelique to hell, and Quentin into a parallel version of 1810. Meanwhile, in 1969, the family, with no memory of Barnabas, Quentin, or Angelique, is tormented by the Phoenix Laura Collins, and have summoned Dr. Julia Hoffman to battle her. Meanwhile, the ghost of Barnabas has made his presence known to Victoria Winters, and so the family conducts a seance to summon his spirit ...
And now ... the first episode of Season 9 of Dark Shadows: The Comic Strip Series! Enjoy!
