And here's the twenty-first page earlier than I would normally post it. (Does that make up for the lateness of Page 20?
) And the reason I need to post it early will become obvious later tonight...

And here's another page where all the dialogue and all the panels made it into the slideshow...
And speaking of that dialogue, does it seem like dialogue that would have taken place between Barnabas and Julia "right before the 1790 flashback, around the time of Episodes 6 and 7." No, of course it doesn't! At that point in the '91 Series Julia's treatment of Barnabas had already blown up and ended with Barnabas aging and attacking Carolyn and with Barnabas and Julia at odds with one another.
However, as much as I've railed about how Book 3's storyline, at least in Issue 1, makes no sense with the timeline David Campiti said it would take place in and that it fit in more appropriately with a similar timeline to Books 1 and 2, I think I may have figured out why that is. It has something to do with the theory I teased in reply #114. But as I said in that post, I prefer to go into it after I've posted Page 24...
One thing that is interesting about Barnabas and Julia's discussion here, though, is that it sets the stage for what would seem to have been the intended theme for Book 3's storyline and for how this particular issue ends...
