Book Description

May 21, 2011 Dark Shadows
Hermes Press proudly announces the second volume of its complete reprint of Gold Key Comics' television tie-in of the legendary supernatural suspense series Dark Shadows in a series of five hardcover volumes. The forerunner to today's immensely popular vampire-themed television programs and theatrical films, Dark Shadows still garners serious attention as one of the most memorable TV shows of the last forty years. The comic books to be collected in Hermes Press' completely digitally restored series present archetypal tales of vampires, werewolves, and the supernatural. In addition to reprinting the stories, Volume Two contains a generous supplement of poster art, pin-ups, and documentary material from the show together with essays about the history of Dark Shadows as well as other aspects of the show.

5.0 out of 5 stars ENTER AGAIN THE HOUSE OF DARK SHADOWS!, May 26, 2011
By 
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Dark Shadows: The Complete Series Volume 2 (Hardcover)
Evil forces are again afoot in seven more issues from Gold Key's original run of its DARK SHADOWS series of comic books, reproduced in brilliant color by Hermes Press. This edition features Issues 8-14, each offering an excellent full-page reproduction of the respective covers. The book is 207 pages long and includes a nice introduction by Dr. Jeff Thompson who offers an informative synopsis of the first fourteen comics. The book concludes with a 12-page photo spread, including many photos I have never seen before of actors Jonathan Frid and David Selby. This should be a nice plus for DS fans. My only quibble with this edition is that sometimes the lettering in the first issue is a bit faded or blotchy, making the words difficult to read. Nonetheless, the stories are fun to read, complete with highly dramatic dialogue and supernatural peril.

The artwork by Joe Certa, although not always great, successfully captures the gothic atmosphere of the original tv show and he does treat us at times with a very good likeness of actor Jonathan Frid as Barnabas. Still, I can't help but wonder what actress Grayson Hall might have said should she have seen the depiction of Dr. Julia Hoffman in these comics. I can hear her saying now: "Look at this! They think I'm Mrs. Johnson!"

As with the first edition, these books offer us DS fans the opportunity to again visit these favored tales from our past. They are well worth the wait. So, pick up your copy, sit back, and venture into the mysterious corridors of Collinwood where witches, ghosts, werewolves, vampires, golems, and even a bit of time travel are all part of everyday life. Collinwood...yes, we still want to live there.
