The PARTRIDGE FAMILY and DARK SHADOWS

The Partridge Family is an American television sitcom about a widowed mother and her five children who embark on a music career. The series originally ran from September 25, 1970 until August 31, 1974, the last new episode airing on March 23, 1974, on the ABC network, as part of a Friday-night lineup. So what has this to do with the gothic 1960's show, DARK SHADOWS? The CHARLTON comic book issue #20 of THE PARTRIDGE FAMILY from 1973 had an 8 page gothic style story called "HOUSE OF SHADOWS" with artwork that has characters such as Betty that look like Nancy Barrett (Carolyn Stoddard on DARK SHADOWS) and a house that looks like the Lockwood-Mathews Mansion (used as the OLD HOUSE/OLD MONASTERY in the movie HOUSE OF DARK SHADOWS. What do you think?
Betty or Carolyn?
