Don't forget all of Quentin's "as played by Engelbert Humperdinck" appearances in those dreadful Gold Key comic books.
Quentin looked Tasmanian, Julia resembled a retired drag queen badly in need of chin surgery, Prof. Stokes appeared to be semi-batrachian... I'm not sure what to say about Barn's portrayal in those comics, except that as I recall it, he was drawn looking more like Tony George than Jonathan Frid.
Why, Gothick, how can you say that? Those Gold Key comics were simply just, well, they were pretty much, they were...never mind, you're absolutely right. The "artistic" work was plain awful. Two things really got to me when I use to purchase them at the comic book section of the old Red Owl supermarket down the street from where I grew up. The first, and I mentioned this once before in a very old post here, was that Barnabas, save for a rare exceptions, was always wearing that coat-cape. No matter where he was, what season it was, what time it was, he always had it on. The second one is (along the same line and which I haven't previously mentioned) is that whenever he travelled back in time he was always wearing his 20th century clothing (which was that darn cape-coat and his necktie knot sticking out of the top). He would be prancing around people in the 17th century and when all the characters there were dressed like pilgrims he'd be wearing that darn cape-coa....oh, you know what I mean, and no one would question his modern duds.
And then there was Elizabeth who always wore, no matter what time of the day, that same long evening gown that looked like it came right off the rack at some Hooterville theatrical company. To top it off, literally, she had that gigantic beehive hairdo that made her look like Divine from
Hairspray after he had lost 10,000 pounds. No wonder Elizabeth never left Collinwood; she couldn't get her hair through the front door.
