Book - #DanShambleZombiePI & #KolchakTheNightStalker by #KevinJAnderson, #RichardDeanStarr and #SergioIbanez

This is a 2016 graphic novel that brings two supernatural franchises together. The story, titled Unnaturally Normal, is lots of fun, and has a good artistic style… (Continued in comments)

I watched an old episode of #KolchakTheNightStalker (1974), “The Devil’s Platform” wherein Kolchak (Darren McGavin) pursues a populist senatorial candidate (Tom Skerritt) whose pact w. Satan allows him to destroy his opposition all the way to the White House. Yeah, that’d *never* happen, right?? 😐

Loved #KolchakTheNightStalker as a kid, and it only got better with age; kid-me loved the monsters and adult-me loves the characters , the witty dialogue and noir feel.

My old review of the classic horror series here:

“Kolchak: The Night Stalker” (1974-5) was a pulpy mix of Columbo and Scooby Doo…

A very different era. In order to understand and appreciate this series I’m about to get into, modern readers should understand that the 1970s were a very different era; we’re talking nearly a half…

I almost forgot today was Kolchak day! The TV series premiered today back in 1974! Pretty cool both Scooby-Doo and Kolchak premiered on the same day, though years apart!

Truly on the best and my favorite of the series. Grisly deaths involving spontaneously combusted people caused by a deceased arsonist's malevolent spirit. Grisly stuff for 1974 t.v. One of the few episodes where Kolchak is targeted by the ''monster''. #KolchaktheNightStalker #Firefall

I love Gordon Spangler, a.k.a. Gordie the Ghoul. What a fantastic character and John Feidler was perfect for the role ! #KolchaktheNightStalker #TheZombie

One of the best episodes in the entire season. The zombie is truly terrifying a menace a Kolchak as ever faced. And then there's the supporting cast ! A powerhouse episode ! #KolchaktheNightStalker #TheZombie
