Kolchak: The Night Stalker TV series (or, as it was originally known, simply
The Night Stalker) — as well as the two
original TV movies, The Night Stalker and
The Night Strangler,
back in the early 1970s, were among those TV productions that made a
powerful and lasting impression on me, and so contributing to this volume
felt right, to put it mildly. The book has made it onto the
preliminary ballot for the
Horror Writers Association’s Bram Stoker Awards for Superior Achievement in a Graphic Novel, and it would be awesome to see it go all the way to the top. If you have ever been a fan of Carl Kolchak’s exploits, this is the volume for you.
