The Night Whispers is an audio play written by Stuart Manning for Big Finish Productions Dark Shadows audio range. The play itself marks the final appearance of Jonathan Frid in the role of Barnabas Collins before his death in 2012.
Frid had been reluctant for many years to reprise the role he first made famous in 1966. Many of his fellow cast mates had appeared in Big Finish's audio adaptation of the television series. Frid finally came back to the role in 2010 alongside John Karlen as Willie Loomis for Manning's play THE NIGHT WHISPERS.
Frid's voice had aged a great deal when he took on the role again, but it sounded absolutely perfect for the story. You got the impression of an older graver Barnabas Collins. Long since freed from the vampire curse and living the remainder of his unnaturally long life in the Old House.
Stuart gave me permission to adapt a few of his marvelous play into comic book pages. You can see a few of the finished pages above.
Although, I didn't make Barnabas appear "older" because the opening dialogue mentioned him being "unchanged".
