This is all SG #65 had to share about the plot for Book 3, Issue 1:


SG #66 had much more to say - a bit too much, actually. It gives away some plot points that I'd rather not be gotten into so soon, so I'm going to hold off on posting it.

But to satiate your possible hunger for reading some of that issue, here's what SG #66 had to say about DC's proposed movies based on the '91 DS Series. Even though nothing ever came of the project, it's still fun to read how it progressed and how it was publicized:






Apparently nothing ever came of Journal Of The Gun Years either because it's nowhere to be seen in his IMDb credits - not even as something that might have had a title change...

Maggie looks totally crazed in today's selection. As if she's ready to skewer someone with a stiletto. Has she been possessed by Angelique again in this version? I feel as if I need a scorecard...

Yes, Maggie does look a bit crazed there -


Book Three/Issue One/Page 4 - Maggie: 'YOU'D THINK I'D
BE USED TO IT BY NOW. SILLY, ISN'T IT?'

- but it's really just Felipe Echevarria's unique way of depicting her smiling. No possessions at this point in the story...

And here's the fourth page -


(Click here for a 1328X1996 version)

Just one skipped panel and its one bit of dialogue...

Today's capture of Carolyn and Maggie kind of looks like a TV screen that is out of focus.

Yeah, I realize the end was near for Innovation and they were cutting corners but I think the artwork is horrible. Reminds me of the old Sci Fi caption board on a day when they had technical problems and everything looked hazy. People would post captions like Willie must be burning leaves in the backyard or really Dark Shadows...Lol.

That's Felipe Echevarria's style. Everything is very soft focus. If one goes back to the essay on the inside cover (in reply #1) it's even described as "looking-through-gauze". They seemed to think it was perfectly suited to the mood of this story and hoped readers would agree. Apparently some of you don't.  [snow_cheesy]  Honestly, I think it works in some panels but not so much in others...

Given how much smoke DC always had hanging in the air in what I recall of the 1991 series, that "style" does make sense for a 1991 DS comic book.

 [pointing-up]  I never thought of that but it's so true!!  [snow_laugh]

Barbara Steele even commented in one interview that she thought the whole cast was going to end up in iron lungs once production on the show was over...

And here's the fifth page -


(Click here for a 1328X1996 version)

Note the one skipped panel, the two skipped bits of Carolyn's dialogue, and the one skipped piece of Maggie's dialogue...

Oops, I forgot to post this - but SG #66 shared a version of Page 4 -

And here's the sixth page -


(Click here for a 1328X1996 version)

Note the one skipped bit of dialogue...

Considering where David Campiti said this comic falls in the timeline of the '91 Series, it's odd that we're seeing snow. But that's not even the half of it, as we'll be seeing...

Maybe it was intentional, maybe not but this aspect of the story reminds me of one of the Gold Key comics. Both featured an old lady on the outskirts of Collinsport who had a collection of dolls that seemed to animate themselves. Granny Bumpers, the old lady in the Gold Key story turned out to be Angelique. I wonder if this story was also headed in that direction.

Here's the seventh page -


(Click here for a 1328X1996 version)

Note the two bits of skipped dialogue and the one skipped panel...

Also note that there's more clarity to the images on this page, especially when it comes to the Tarot card...

How odd. Today's illustration from the comic book looks as if it could have been used by Burton as a storyboard for a sequence in his DS movie.
