Now, let's examine DARK SHADOWS #20, the issue
of the comic that's most like the TV series, as Quentin
Collins, Werewolf, seeks a cure for his... "strange sensations"!

BARNABAS COLLINS: MASTER OF THE MULTI-VERSE!
Most issues of the comic book, particularly the later issues, had little or no resemblence to the TV series. There were several parallel worlds in the TV show, but in the comic book, Barnabas did enough time-traveling and parallel universe-hopping to rival DC’s “Infinite Crisis” series. And for some reason, as the series went on, the eras our favorite vampire visited got more and more inappropriate for a horror series! Let's start with Barnabas in the Colonial era...

Then there was that time Barnabas went to HELL... |
|
And here's Barnabas in merry old London, England! |
|
AVAST YE MATES! Barnabas Collins, cavorting with pirates? HAR HAR! |
 |
But strangest of all was the time Barnabas
met... Viking Warriors.
What!?!? How?!?! Here's how it went down, in DARK SHADOWS #31... |

DARK SHADOWS LIVES!
After 1,225 television episodes and two feature films (House of Dark Shadows in 1970 and Night of Dark Shadows in 1971), DARK SHADOWS finally came to an end on April 2, 1971. The comic book actually out-lasted the TV series, running from 1968 until 1976, for a total of 35 issues. But the series never really died. It lives on in re-runs, DVDs, an annual festival, web pages, and in the montage below, Robby Reed's clickable tribute to the supernatural soap opera sensation known as... Dark Shadows!
