'Dark Shadows: Year One' refers to the first year that Barnabas Collins was a vampire. It's not a bad story and the art is ok.
Pre-vampire Barnabas is engaged to be married. At the urging of his uncle he has a dalliance with a maid named Angelique. This sets in motion a curse on his family. First it will affect his uncle, then him and on it goes. It's a good, melodramatic story of a cursed family and the bad luck that befalls them. There are setups that have domino effects. It ultimately ends about where the tv series begins.
I remember the series and watched it occasionally. I didn't bother to see the dreadful looking movie. This seems more in line with the series and I found it to be a good, gothic story of tragedy.
I received a copy of this graphic novel from Diamond Book Distributors and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.
