About the series
Based on the gothic soap opera, this 1969–1976 Western Publishing comic series ran for 35 issues and brought the eerie atmosphere of Collinsport to the four-color page. Primarily written by D. J. Arneson, Merrie Spaeth, and John Warner, with moody art from Joe Certa and John Costanza, it expanded the show's supernatural lore for a new audience. For fans of the brooding vampire Barnabas Collins, it remains a key piece of the franchise's 1970s pop-culture footprint.
