It’s a very special event, and a story Kolchak fans have dreamed of for decades – Kolchak vs. Barnabas Collins! Carl Kolchak meets Dark Shadows’ Barnabas Collins in a tale that could only be called “An Interview with the Vampire!” Why has this famous vampire sent for a reporter well-known for slaying vampires? Then, writers Gentile and Ulanski co-write together a new full-length story!
In “One Foot in the Grave,” Kolchak and Vincenzo are on a road trip through the Nevada desert, and find a graveyard of human bones. But what menace is looking to add them to it? These two terrifying Night Stalker tales are so monumental, it takes a 64-page special to contain them!A special, limited sketch variant of Doug Klauba’s Kolchak/Dark Shadows cover is also available, limited to just 300 copies!
