Quantum Leap #13 (July 1993) by Innovation

Written by Christine Hantzopulos-Hunt, drawn by Luke Ross, cover by C. Winston Taylor.

This is the cover of one of the Dark Shadows comic books by Innovation. They adapted and continued the story from the short lived 1990s Dark Shadows revival that aired on NBC in 1990 / 1991.

I had these. They were published by Innovation, who also did gorgeous adaptations of the first three Vampire Chronicles by Anne Rice, The Witching Hour, and The Mummy or Ramses the Damned (also by Anne Rice).

The company Innovation is now defunct but Beltane books reprinted their version of The Vampire Lestat (illustrated by John Bolton who also did Neil Gaiman's The Books of Magic) a few times.

I'll tell you a funny story. I was about fifteen and in Sayville Long Island at a comic book store with my cousin, Jessica. And I asked the guy behind the counter "Do you have Interview with the vampire from Innovation?" The guy says "No." looks at me up and down, like he's sizing me up and my interests and goes "But I have Dark Shadows."

I hid my delight and said nonchalantly "I might be interested." He showed them to me, I paid and walked out and Jesse turns and looks at me and goes "I can't believe how calm you were." And I just grinned. This was when I was right in the middle of my first big Dark Shadows obsession.

I don't have them anymore, but I was very proud of myself at the time.

Interview with the Vampire: The Comic Adaptations

There are (to my knowledge) three different comic book/graphic novel adaptations of Interview with the Vampire:

Innovation Comics (1991)

Yoake No Vampire (Translation: Vampires of Dawn) from Chara Comics (Manga Adaptation) (1994)

Interview with the Vampire: Claudia's Story (2012)

I thought it would be interesting to pull together and compare some of the character designs from these three versions, so here they are!

Interview with the Vampire: Claudia's Story

Louis, Lestat, Claudia, Armand, Madeleine, Santiago, art by Ashley Marie Witter

Yoake No Vampire

Louis, Lestat, Claudia, Armand, Madeleine, Santiago, art by Shinohara Udou

Interview with the Vampire by Innovation Comics

Note, there are multiple artists who did Innovation's artwork, and they also did adaptations of other books in the series, but here I am just pulling from Interview's comics. I believe I've correctly ID'd the two artists here:

Louis, Lestat, Claudia, Armand, Madeleine, Santiago, art in these images by Alexander Jubran

Louis, Lestat, and Claudia, art in these images by Christopher Moeller

Fucking phenomenal choice of pages from IWTV to put these panels over 10/10 no notes

Louis trying to convince Lestat to forgive his dad before he kills him is behind the formation of the band page and Louis burning down Pointe du Lac is behind the panels where Lestat is marveling at his audacity in letting the interview be published/pining for him 💕
