Boardindex Page Montage/aka 'Book 1'?

I know Andy Mangels a bit from Facebook. Excellent writer and seems like a very nice guy. I wonder what happened with his DS story.

I also find it interesting that of the three DS comic series published, only the Innovation stories have not been reprinted in a paperback collection. Though I don't know if any of the other Innovation comics have been.

1991 DS fans must have been so excited when that initial announcement broke. Too bad they were disappointed.

Again, I am enjoying it thus far...

Here's the eighth page -

And note that this page contains dialogue and a panel that was not featured in the slideshow...

Heartbreaking. And worthy of note given that this is a scene we never actually saw, so far as I am aware, in any of the versions of this narrative.  (I don't count the Burton/Depp film because they changed how Barnabas was released in that.)

One of today's drawings definitely feels like a continuity error. I don't recall Barnabas's hands sporting those Nosferatu-nails when we saw him take out the hidden coffer of jewels in the original 1991 episode.

No, he definitely didn't:

Plus on the show there was no sign of the music box in the jewel/coin chest...

There's also an even bigger continuity error between the show and the comic. Some might even say a huge error. Does anyone else remember what it is?

Not sure. Is it occur in what we've already seen in the slideshow? Knowing DS, there's bound to be more than one major blooper.

Is it occur in what we've already seen in the slideshow?

Yup. In fact, it's occurred in the last few pages that I've shared from the comic.

Knowing DS, there's bound to be more than one major blooper.

Oh yes! 

I obviously can't tell since I'm so unschooled in the 1991 series. I'm astonished I noticed the detail of Barnabas's hands in that one shot.

I remember reading a few years later how DC claimed that this was going to be a "blooper free" version of the story. Then people were writing into the zine letter columns and the BBS groups or whatever was around then about all the bloopers they spotted. The only one I remember was seeing a wristwatch on somebody in a 1790 scene.

There were a few more. I think there's a light switch that makes an appearance in the 1790 sequence. And, of course, there's the palm trees that make periodic cameos.

Two shots that summed up DS 91 for me: Julia in Jackie Oh sunglasses reading by the swimming pool in beautiful downtown Burbank, Maine. LOL. And Joe's beefcake shot sprawled on the deck of his boat with a pouty Carolyn looking on.

It all looked very LA...

Something that's quite interesting about that whole sequence is that even though it doesn't appear until the sixth hour of the series, it was one of the first things shot. When production of the series began on July 23, 1990, it actually began at Ports O'Call and Fisherman's Wharf in San Pedro, CA. They served as settings for Collinsport and the water just beyond it. In order to help to curb high production costs, DC directed scenes there for multiple eps.

I think there's a light switch that makes an appearance in the 1790 sequence.

I've never noticed that.

And, of course, there's the palm trees that make periodic cameos.

The only sequence that I'm aware of where palm trees make an appearance (and in the background at that) is the above scene with Joe and Carolyn when Joe is pulling his boat out of the harbor:

If there are others, I'm not aware of them - and none of the forum's members have ever pointed other scenes out. And, naturally, we can thank DC for them appearing in that above scene because he's the one who directed it...

Guess I never noticed the palm trees before, but even so it puts Dan Curtis in classic company. In the Bond movie, You Only Live Twice you see a supposed Russian spacecraft launch but there are palm trees in the background. Lol.

Guess I never noticed the palm trees before

Well, you're not alone because Midnite and I never noticed them either until Gerard pointed them out back in '04...
