So I guess no one else knows this one? Do we need a hint?

Pocahontas/Elizabeth. (Night Of The Werewolf).

MacGyver · September 20, 2013, 03:02:17 PM

Yes, that is correct. Good job.

(I have both a Wanderer and Minstrel printing of Night of the Werewolf- Pocahontas is originally used in the Wanderer printing and then it's changed to Elizabeth in the Minstrel printing. I'm not sure why Pocahontas would be a discriminatory or offensive name somehow to use for a Native American character- but apparently someone thought it was an issue and decided to change it for the Minstrel version...)

The Grosset & Dunlap reissue used the original Wanderer text, so the character's name was Pochahontas in the recent editions.

Next question:

At school, what was Tony Prito falsely accused of?

Oh, you mean the hardcover version? Well, that's cool- I guess they decided to relax on that then. (Or just plain forgot about it.)

I believe I know the answer to this one, but I'll wait a while and see if anyone else wants to answer first.

Well, considering that the G&D version also used the internal pictures from the Wanderer edition, I think it was probably easier for them to reuse the Wanderer printing plates rather than retype setting the books. (Especially since the Minstrel plates would've Ben type set for no pictures.)

MacGyver · September 23, 2013, 04:15:17 PM

Oh, well- duh (on my part)- that's a good point too.

MacGyver · October 04, 2013, 02:42:53 PM

No guesses yet? Well, just to confirm my hunch- is this from a Digests story?

tomswift2002 · October 05, 2013, 05:18:57 PM

No.

MacGyver · October 05, 2013, 08:34:37 PM

Hmm- one of the original 58 then? (OT or revised)

tomswift2002 · October 05, 2013, 09:27:56 PM

No.

MacGyver · October 07, 2013, 07:54:54 AM

Hmm- well, then I'm thinking maybe it's from the Casefiles?

('Cause if it's Undercover Brothers, I won't know it- haven't read enough of those to know-lol. One of these days I may still read the rest of that series.....)

tomswift2002 · October 07, 2013, 12:36:35 PM

Not the Casefiles either or the Undercover Brothers.

MacGyver · October 07, 2013, 01:05:48 PM

Hmm- okay. That narrows it down then. I will have to keep digging on this one......
