Boardindex Page Montage/aka 'Book 1'?

Was there ever any explanation as to why Gregory is so much more articulate than the others, who never seem able to do much more than grunt and repeat selected phrases like a mynah bird?

That's an excellent question - but I don't believe they ever give an answer. 

Here's the ninth page:

And take note of the skipped dialogue and the panel depicting Willie's arrival...

That's not the most flattering depiction of the Barbara Steele Julia. It reminds of Sinead O'Connor or whatever name she goes by now.

Joe Certa's attempts at drawing Julia in the old Gold Key comics often looked like Paul Lynde in a bad wig and worse earrings.

Internet is acting up again. This has gotten ridiculous so I'm looking into switching providers. Hopefully I can  find a good deal and things will get back to normal sooner rather than later. Until then we may be seeing the hoDS slideshow...

Yes - Julia looked horrendous in the Gold Key comics!

MB, I am so sorry about the problems with your ISP. I hope you are able to find a solution soon.

On the other hand, what a treat to see a lovely photo of Professor Stokes reading Barnabas the riot act today!

cheers, Gothick

Yes, I love that hoDS scene.

On the Internet front today I found a great deal but it won't be up and running until Saturday morning. But considering it's better than what I had, I can wait that long, especially considering I do have access with my phone (just not access to all the things I can do with my computer).

I'm back. But I have to confess that I goofed off while I was without a provider, so I need to pick out quotes and format the images for the slideshow before I can upload/post them. So that probably won't get done until sometime this afternoon...

Here are the missed quotes/captures for November 1st and November 2nd:

Book One/Issue Four/Page 10 - Gregory: 'NOT ONCE HAVE YOU
PASSED ME BY WITHOUT LOOKING AWAY AND SHUNNING ME.'

Book One/Issue Four/Page 10 - Gregory: 'BUT YOUR CONTEMPT
FOR US IS MATCHED BY OUR HATRED OF YOU! TONIGHT YOU
WILL SUFFER FOR ALL THOSE YEARS OF--'

And here are the quotes/captures for November 3rd for anyone who missed them:

Book One/Issue Four/Page 10 - Willie: 'SHUT UP! SHUT UP!'

Book One/Issue Four/Page 10 - Gregory: 'WHUUUF!'

And yet more sounds added to the list. 

Here's the tenth page:

And note the skipped dialogue...

If only Willie had gotten Gregory to shut up a few pages earlier!

If only!!

And note the skipped dialogue and panels. In fact, more were skipped than used...
