Oops - if you're not seeing this graphic on the BoardIndex page -


Book Three/Issue One/Page 15 - Vicki: 'I'M CONCERNED,
MRS. STODDARD. I CARE ABOUT DAVID VERY MUCH, AND
HIS BEHAVIOR PROBLEMS SEEM TO HAVE SOME DEEPER
ROOT...AN EARLY CHILDHOOD TRAUMA, PERHAPS?'

- you need to clear your browser's cache. Even though I did upload the correct quote, apparently I forgot to upload the correct graphic for today. I didn't realize that until a few minutes ago...

This also happens to be the Vicki/Joanna Going graphic I was referring to in reply #74...

Here's some of what SG #66 from October 1993 wrote/shared with regard to the '93 NYC Fest:








Much more to come...

I didn't actually read the Jersey Shore article until a few minutes ago. I find it interesting that the article states 'The event celebrates the upcoming production of a new "Dark Shadows" feature film' as if the film had been a certainty. The truth of the matter was exactly the opposite as SG reported that its status was "uncertain." But I'm sure we all know where the information in the article came from, or more specifically, whom it came from, so is anyone really surprised by the, shall we say, overly rosy version of the circumstances surrounding the potential film? No? I didn't think so...

And here's the fifteenth page -


(Click here for a 1328X1996 version)

Note that the first panel and its dialogue were skipped in the slideshow...

And now we've seen the last of Liz and Vicki in Issue 1...

And speaking of the two of them, Liz' attitude to speaking about Laura would seem to conflict with the '91 Series because she was open to discuss her on the show...

And here's the second page (twenty-sixth page) of the letters column:


(Click here for a 1328X1996 version (without any of the artifacts that the forum's system created when downsizing the image))

Note that the first column on this page features the first panel from Page 4, the center column features the fourth panel from that page, and the third column features the second panel from the same page, all without the dialogue bubbles written over them...

It's interesting that the potential film is seemingly being thought of here as a go even though no such info was ever given...

And little did Scott Rockwell know that Hermes Press would indeed be reprinting the Paperback Library novels. Though he certainly wouldn't have been able to see more than 25 years into the future...

Book Three/Issue One/Page 16 - Sarah: 'I AM SORRY,
DAVID, BUT I WANTED TO TELL YOU NOT TO BE AFRAID OF
HER.  SHE CAN'T HURT YOU HERE.'

It's very interesting that the comic has Sarah saying this to David with reference to his mother. Maybe it could be true that David's mother can't hurt him, but she sure as hell can hurt others - and she can do it through David. Or are we suppose to forget how David nearly killed Roger in Hour 5/Episode 4 (not to mention how on the show Liz makes reference to David having been barred from the town school because he started a terrible fire and almost burned the place down)?

It actually makes one wonder if they were going to recreate those scenes from the show for the comic? But, of course, we'll never know at this point...

The only way that Sarah's last words to David make any sense to me would be if that had been a false manifestation of Sarah. Could it have been Laura or Angelique impersonating Sarah to gain David's confidence for some sinister reason? It would have been a great plot twist,  though I don't know if the Innovation writers would have come up with an angle like that.

As what transpires on Page 17 unfolds it will become more clear as to whether or not it's the real Sarah...

"Sarah" (if it really is Sarah) has dialogue today that makes her sound like a New Age guru.

Again, I'm glad this "book" is coming to an end soon.

What we'll see is that what she says in today's quote -


Book Three/Issue One/Page 17 - Sarah: '...I DON'T EXPECT
YOU TO UNDERSTAND, BUT I KNOW THINGS, I CAN, SEE
THINGS THAT YOU CANNOT. I WALK A TURNING PATH
BETWEEN TIMES AND THROUGH TIMES, AND I SEE WHAT IS
AND WHAT MAY BE. IN NONE OF THE TURNS ON MY PATH
DO I SEE YOU COME TO HARM.'

- plays into how this issue will end. But more on that then...

Ditto for me also G. For me, it's the artwork. It's just plain horrendous. I can't tell whether it's Victoria or Dr. Hoffman anymore, so how can I follow the story. And what's with the shot MB used in the index. It looks like some sort of weird glamour shot of KLS sprayed with that fake snow stuff stores use for their Christmas Windows Good golly eeeesh!
