The news that Nancy Barrett is going to be at the DS Fest makes my day. I have been to the last 3, always hoping she'd be appearing....It's a banner day for DS!!! First this, and then the announcement about the new comics written by Stuart.
Speaking of Stuart, there's also the brilliant cover artwork for Big Finish's "Dark Shadows: The Crimson Pearl".
