Boardindex Page Montage/aka 'Book 1'?

I forgot to mention that Book 1, Issues 1-3 all ended with Page 24, but obviously Issue 4 is going to take more pages to wrap up the story...

Here's the twenty-fifth page:

And again note the skipped drawing and its accompanying dialogue taken from the show...

Here's the twenty-sixth page a bit early because we have a lot of things to deal with over the next few days:

And unlike recent pages, the slideshow has showcased everything on this page...

And SG #63 shared a not fully completed version of Page 26:

And again this one shows more than the actual page in the comic does...

Here's what SG #63 from January 1993 had to say mostly about Book 1, Issue 4:

A couple interesting things that David Campiti claims:

He says that when Vicki returns from the past she would realize that the present day Barnabas (actually Barnabas in 1991 by then, not 1990) is the same Barnabas who stalked Cillinsport as a vampire in 1790. However, according to all that's been shared about the '91 DS' actual projections for a Season 2, Vicki would not actually recall that fact because, as was the case with the original show, her memories of her experiences in the past would be vague. So, if the comics had gone down the road of Vicki actually remembering, they would have deviated from what we would have seen had the show done its own Season 2. Though Innovation went out of business before ever getting to Book 4 so the subject is moot.

And while Campiti's notion that at some point a Loomis married into the Collins family might be intriguing, I'm not so sure I buy it. But of course, for his idea for how Angelique cursed Josette's music box and how reincarnation plays a part in it to work, Willie would need to be related to the Collinses in some way, whether that makes any sense or not. And his claim that he leaves it up to readers to interpret whether or not it's reincarnation is disingenuous because right on Page 26 Angelique says as part of her curse: "If it takes a thousand years or as many reincarnations" - so I don't see how that isn't specifically stating reincarnation is actually involved.

Here's the twenty-seventh and last story page for Book 1:

And note the bit of skipped dialogue...

As I've already shared back in replies #405, #407, and #415, Pages 28 - 30 of Issue #4 are the letters column. Pages 31 and 32 are the same ads for the watches and the posters, respectively. So that brings us up to the back inside cover of Issue #4:

Obviously this time around it was mostly being used as a promotion for the 10th Anniversary Fest (though apparently no dates had been decided or at least announced yet). Interestingly enough, several of the '91 DS stars attended that Fest...

I wonder if the last panel was meant to imply a potential sequel to this story. Was the green background meant to suggest some sort of connection to Angelique or just generic demonic coloring?

And here's the back cover of Book 1, Issue 4:

And that concludes everything about Book 1, Issue 4, as well as all of Book 1...

As you can see, Roger has been dropped and replaced by Vicki.

And the '91 Series' tag line "A Love Story Beyond Time..." continues as part of the back cover despite the fact that the Vicki portion of the love story is basically nowhere in evidence in Issue 4 except for Page 26's indication that Vicki is Josette's reincarnation. Makes one wonder, if appearing on that page is all it took for Vicki to return to the back cover, then Roger, Liz and/or Carolyn, all of whom also appear on Page 26, could have just as easily returned to the back cover as well...

I took it as simply generic coloring. But knowing how Mr. Campiti seemed to think, who really knows for sure? We'll never know for sure, but given how high he was on his Barrettstown story, I'm pretty sure that if the comic series had continued, we would have seen some sort of Barrettstown sequel. One reason the folding of Innovation might have been a blessing in disguise...

While I was looking for Jose Pimentel artwork I came across E. Silas Smith's artwork for Book 1, Issue 1's cover but -

The first of a series of ads that were included in the '92 LA Fest Mailing:

(Click here for a 1700X1258 version)

Interesting that this ad lists preordering by October 15th of '92, whereas the back cover of Book 1, Issue 2 (mailed July of '92) lists August 1st (though that release date was removed from the back cover ad for Issue 3, which mailed in October of '92).

Also, for the longest time the photo of Barnabas and Victoria wasn't available elsewhere. However, it was published on page 120 of the Return To Collinwood Pompress book.

"Witness the stories NBC will never show!" - Well, I can't even begin to imagine that anyone at NBC would have ever signed off on the Barrettstown plot, so there's one big reason right there why NBC would have never shown it!!
