I think that's one of the scariest things I've ever seen. Julia's hair looks like a failed attempt at a mullet. Quentin's looks like a Ken doll's back when they made them with hair instead of the molded plastic coiffure.

The artist should have been sued for misrepresentation.

Now you know why I said earlier that they were
ridiculously drawn

And truthfully, the DS characters were just a part of it - everything about the artwork was just too bizarre for words and misrepresentative of the show. And don't even get me started on how laughable too many of the stories were.  ::)

Yep, those Gold Key comics were generally badly drawn and written.  Some of 'em are fun though.  I liked the one with the mummy in it.  Some of the painted covers were awesome.  There's the one with Barnabas & the Golem coming up behind him, which I always thought was really cool.  Even though most of these comics were pretty bad quality-wise, some of 'em were fun to read.

A new DS comic would certainly be of a higher caliber story and art-wise.  I'd love a continuation of the classic series, with the characters and locales based on the original cast.

I think Quentin looks like Englebert Humperdink.
