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. A new television adaptation is also in the works. The first volume of Hermes Press' complete restored series presents issues #1-7 of the comic book title. In addition to reprinting the stories, Volume One contains a generous supplement of poster art, pinups, and documentary material from the show together with an essay about the history of Dark Shadows.
