Remake fever doesn't look like it's going to die any time soon, and the famous horror soap, Dark Shadows, is also getting the treatment. To be fair it has been remade twice before, once in a 1990's TV version and again in a B-Movie. Now it's being revived again as a major motion picture staring Hollywood heavy weight Johnny Depp and directed by equally large fan favorite Tim Burton. In light of this Hermes Press is going to begin reprinting the 35 issue Gold Key comic versions of Dark Shadows. Starting in March of 2010 Hermes will begin putting out five deluxe hard cover volumes containing the comics which was written by Doom Patrol and Deadman creator Arnold Drake and penciled by Silver Age artist Joe Certa, who co-created Martian Manhunter. Each issue will be digitally restored and contain art, pin-ups and documentary material from the original TV series, including essays about Dark Shadows effects pop culture.
