Roger Davis, Don Briscoe, and Bobbi Woronko

Love love love the expression on Donnie B's face -- "Shut the hell up, Davis," more likely than not.

Upcoming Dark Shadows Comics from Dynamite

I'm intrigued by Dark Shadows:  Year One (particularly how, according to this retelling, Vicki shows up after Barnabas becomes a vampire ... that was quick!); meanwhile, back in the main title, despite some terrible dialogue (and still no answer as to why Quentin is a werewolf again), I have to admit, the return of Nicholas Blair is quite, quite welcome ... and I'm digging the demonic cat eyes.


Barnabas fights for his very soul! But is it even worth saving? The Collinwood estate is rocked to its core. Some allies will not survive this conflict! The cataclysmic future of 1984 will be changed this issue, but will it be for the better or the worse?


A blood-thirsty monster terrorizes the people of Collinsport! As the bodies pile up, the Collins' family faces an unspeakable truth: the killer is one of their own! The vengeance of Angelique hits Barnabas and his family hard--- and threatens to tear them, and the innocent townspeople, apart! Plus: Victoria Winters appears at the estate, but will anyone believe her warnings? Or will her tales of time-travel and vampires get her burned at the stake? The retelling of the classic "Dark Shadows" history continues here!

Check out the rest of the Dark Shadows issues here.

The 'salem's Lot Connection

When the Dark Shadows bandwagon began to roll around this time last year, one of the first pictures released ...



... instantly reminded me of this bad boy:




Minus the glowing yellow eyes and complete Nosferatu-rip-off makeup, fangs, hands, etc.

'Salem's Lot is my favorite Stephen King novel; my mom loaned me the book to read when I was in 2nd grade (best mom EVER!), and I was entranced by the photographs from the TV movie, which my awesome mom found for me on video (it was 1987, keep in mind) for Christmas later that year.

Freaky as HELL.  Floating dead kids, "You'll sleep like the dead, teacher," and, oh yeah, rat-faced Mr. Barlow, who, his suave British minion informs anyone he encounters, will "enjoy you."  Eep!
