Kolchak: The Night Stalker is an American television series that aired on ABC during the 1974 – 1975 season. Kolchak: The Night Stalker was created by Jeff Rice. It featured a fictional Chicago newspaper reporter – Carl Kolchak, played by Darren McGavin – who investigated mysterious crimes with unlikely causes, particularly those that law enforcement authorities would not follow up. These often involved the supernatural or science fiction, including fantastic creatures. The series was preceded by two television movies, The Night Stalker (1972) and The Night Strangler (1973). Although the series lasted only a single season, it garnered a world-wide fan following and is considered a cult classic in horror television. Subsequent novels and comic books later followed. And it later influenced the creation of the X-Files, which is in the same vein as Kolchak: The Night Stalker.

In 2002, Moonstone began publishing Prestige Format one-shots that pick up where the television show left off in 1975. Moonstone continues the creepy horror anthology that is: “Kolchak: The Night Stalker” in various comic book related projects. Cue the “Kolchak: The Night Stalker” intro theme music and be prepared to get totally spooked out… with two complete Kolchak stories: “Interview with a Vampire” & “One Foot in the Grave”… all presented in Full Color! Awesome!!

Before the X-Files, there was Carl Kolchak, TV’s first paranormal investigator (played with style and pinache by Darren McGavin)! 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!” Then, writers Gentile and Ulanski co-write together a new full-length story, “One Foot in the Grave”. These two terrifying Night Stalker tales are so monumental, it takes a 64-page special to contain them!
