Part One:
Panel 1 (Panel 1 of Page 22) of the recreation in Book 2, Issue 3 -
- is very different from how the scene actually plays out in Hour 4 (Ep 3) of the '91 Series. But first lets start with how the scene begins on the show:
First up we see a shot of the Old House as things slowly move in on what it supposedly Barnabas' bedroom window - and do we see even the slightest sign of snow? - uh, no - in fact, we don't even see rain - but apparently we're supposed to forget that in favor of the raging snowstorm going on in Book 2, Issue 3 - and that shot is soon -
- followed by a shot of only Barnabas' hands as he sits -
- in almost complete darkness - shortly Willie and Julia -
- enter - and as Julia makes her way over to Barnabas, we see that he is sweating profusely - and it is than that rather than delivering his line the way the comic has it, Barnabas says -
Barnabas: 'You're late, Doctor.' - to which Julia looks back toward Willie and then to Barnabas as she explains -
Julia: 'I had to wait until the others were in bed.' - exactly as she does in the comic - but after that we see a shot of Barnabas suffering -
- before she asks -
Julia: 'Can you fight it?' - as she does in the comic - and to that Barnabas sneeringly replies -
Barnabas: 'If I couldn't, you wouldn't be alive to ask that
question!' - as he does in the comic. So, as you can see so far, the dialogue is pretty much the same as the show, but in the comic's depiction everything else is very different. Apparently, unlike E Silas Smith, who depicted recreations from the show very closely to the way they actually played on the show, Jose Pimentel decided to do his own thing - even going so far as to depict part of the scene in a way that resembles a totally different scene from the show, as we'll see in an upcoming part...
