Produktbeschreibung

With anticipation building with the announcement of release of the new Tim Burton production of Dark Shadows, starring Johnny Depp next April, Hermes Press proudly announces the fourth 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. The stories contained in the collection are thoughtful and beautifully crafted; they are the perfect companion for fans of the show, but stand on their own as fine examples of compelling and effective comic book storytelling.

Autorenporträt

D. J. Arneson was a writer and editor for Dell Comics from 1962 to 1973. He wrote Dracula, Werewolf, and Frankenstein, which at that point were superhero comics. He wrote Dark Shadows for Gold Key. He is particularly well-known for creating the character of "Lobo", a western comic featuring a black gunslinger hero. The first comic book headlined by a black character (1965), ''Lobo'' was well ahead of its time, and was cancelled after two issues. After his time at Dell, Arneson turned to writing books, especially juvenile books, publishing more than 100 titles. Many of these books featured ghosts, monsters, haunted houses, aliens, and the supernatural.
