I was lucky enough to attend the National Space Centre event today, which was paying host to Doctors Who 5, 6, 7 and 8. Perhaps of interest to Big Finish Dark Shadows fans, Stuart Manning was signing some of his terrific artwork. I thanked him for the excellent DS audios he'd written, and I got the impression he could barely recall them! But he was appreciative of the comments and spoke highly of Alec Newman especially. I asked if he would come back to the range and he replied he was writing another Big Finish story, but I got the impression it wasn't for Dark Shadows. He said he'd stayed with Dark Shadows longer than he originally intended. I thought I'd mention this because Stuart was such a shining light in early audios. Lovely man! I can't remember the last time I saw Stuart Manning's name on something Big Finish related. Same here, not as a writer anyway, which has always surprised me.

Many of you may recall that Hermes Press released 5 beautiful hardcover volumes collecting every Gold Star comic book (plus the cool DS Story Digest and a "Best of..." volume) in the Dark Shadows range in the 1970s. They are all gorgeous works, and really did the original comics justice. At the same time, they announced that they were collecting the entire run of newspaper comic strips (with color Sundays) and it quickly went up for preorder on Amazon. Well, that was in 2013 or 2014 and it's never been released. Hermes has always said it was still very much in the works but that they were having trouble locating some of the color Sunday strips. Now, it appears it may finally be coming! It's available again for preorder--the price stated is $50US, but that will go down by the time of its release. They always do. I have waited patiently a long time for this...dare I hope this time it's for real? Anyway, I wanted to bring this to the Board because some of you have recently started to explore all the various DS parallel universes! The current Hermes books (the Gold Key comics and story digest) are just one more--as is the forthcoming newspaper strip! All of them, with some better than others of course, offer wonderfully fanciful tales and some great artwork. Do check them out! Here's a link to the new book Dark Shadows Newspaper Strip Collection - Correct LinkI’ve been combing through the old threads looking for this post! It’s been a LONG time coming, but the final Hermes book of the newspaper comics is on its way to me! Ordered in 2013...and finally, it’s a reality. Can’t wait! And it’s $32.78US on Amazon!

Can’t wait to get into it—having color Sundays is very cool.

Tweeted today... Now we know Bloodline is already recording, but '*my* Dark Shadows' doesn't sound like an episode of a serial, does it boys and girls?

I'd love to know the Costings on the Dark Shadows Range its got to be one of the most logistically difficult and costly to organize and yet obviously proves profitable. in a way that Countermeasures, Omega Factor, and maybe even Survivors aren't.

So excited that these little snippets are trickling out. I can't wait as Big Finish is able to give a few teasers and of course the big release day rush! Fingers crossed that while they have such a range of talented actors in the studio, they're doing what they tend to do and recording lines for a whole batch of audios after Bloodline too. I'd just be happy to see Dark Shadows pop up in the coming soon section of The Vortex soon.

If my eye does not deceive me are they hinting on a Dark Shadows sale in the near future? That would be nice so I could get some of the audios that lead into Bloodlust.

Your eyes are not deceiving you.. I saw the same hint too. Seem to recall a Dark Shadows sale around Halloween (can't think if it was last year or the year before). Hopefully it will be around then, as I have some gaps to fill..

Good teeth, though.
