Heatherfield
Question: Does Heatherfield exist? Yes and
no. No because it's been created by Elisabeth Gnone. Yes, because there are some
places named like that in the USA. But none of them is at any coastline. Heatherfield
however does have many characteristics of a British city in Southwest England.
Irma (B)Lair?
In the French acquaintance editorial Irma's surname isn't Lair but Blair. No one
knows where it went wrong, but someone must have been sleeping. Everyone knows Irma
has nothing to do with the Blair Witch!
Anna Bannister
Anna and Tom met each other when he erratically broke her door
in with a warrant. He didn't notice the house number was hanging upside down.
He fell in love with her and they met each other ever since. When she found out
he was a widower with a daughter, it took a while before they married. But now
the mystery begins.
In issue 66 they married and Christopher came. But the
wedding photo in issue 25 shows Christopher! In that case they must have been
waiting with marrying.
The sword in the painting
When Uriah and his gang intruded the museum they bump into Cedric
and Vathek. The boys are starting to flee, but Kurt tries to lash out with a sword.
Vathek strikes the sword from Kurt's hands, whereafter it pierces a painting and
gets stuck in the wall!
Independent transformation
Can the girls transform themselves
without the Heart of Kandrakar? In issue number 4 Cornelia says to Will: "You have the
Heart of Kandrakar! We can do nothing!"
Still Irma transforms herself in issue
number 2 to seduce Andrew Hornby, and Cornelia transforms herself in issue number
7 when she meets Vathek in "Ye olde bookshop". And without being clear about it,
it looks like it will be attempted in issue 6 in case if Will wouldn't show up at
the bookstore in time. And there are doubts in issue number 8 as well. Because how
will the other four transform themselves when Will has her hands full with Cedric?
Finally Irma proves in issue number 13 transforming without the Heart is possible,
and Will confirms it by saying: "The Heart of Kandrakar has nothing to do with it.
We always could do it on our own!"
Caleb and Cornelia
He comes as the boy from Cornelia's
dreams and leaves after dumping her. That bastard! And it's only because he couldn't
get used to the real Cornelia!
But something strange is going on. In issue number
17 Caleb travels off to Earth to protect Cornelia against Luba. With Will's help he
manages to reach Cornelia. They see each other again in a touching way. Detail: He
isn't surprised about her appearance. He wasn't surprised either when Will answered
the door to him.
The cause of all of this is to be found in the Italian
edition of issue number 21. The readers were asked how the relationship between
Cornelia and Caleb should develop. The readers choosed for quitting it and that's
how Caleb left as a #@**&%!##&&& back to Meridian.
Hay Lin's parents and Yan Lin
There's something puzzling
about Hay Lin's parents and Yan Lin. Who's mother is Yan Lin? When Chen Lin gives
Yan Lin her medicine in issue number two she says: "Once I was the one who spoon-fed
you young man."(2.28.3). But in issue number 9 her mother Joan Lin says:
"When I was a child every evening she told me a different story"(9.13.4).
I can't imagine Chen and Joan being brother and sister!
This discovery comes
from Amanda, Texas.
Redstone and back again
When mrs. Knickerbocker announces
the student exchange programme in issue 26, she tells the Redstone College lies
1500 km away from Heatherfield. That's not a real large distance on itself.
But
in issue 28 it is revealed that the Redstone College is situated on the other side
of the world! When it's daylight over there, it's night in Heatherfield. 1500 Kilometers
are much too short for that. It's better to assume the distance should be 15000 kilometers.
The Halloween photo
This photo is known by everyone. Martin Tubbs made it at Halloween.
The Oracle and Tibor observed a similar photo the same evening.
For a while
nothing happens until Interpol appears, having the photo! How did they get it?
The enigma continues. In the Elyon special the protagonist receives birthday presents
from the Guardians, including the photo. From then it's in Meridian.
But in issue #39 it reappears in Taranees bedroom, and Cornelia is erased from it!
Matt
Matt's introduction in the Netherlands was different than in other countries. In
'Halloween' he looked totally different, while elsewhere he was depicted as we know
him today. In the first collection comic (only available in the Netherlands) this
has changed.
The odyssey of We
The journey made by We as a stowaway is
a bit stranger than it appears to be, especially because of the circumstances. To
find this out we have to go back to issue 43.
Orube manages to find back the
Oracle, who doesn't know who he once has been, undergoing a ceremony. The journey to
Kandrakar goes down as follows: first he arrives on earth, then he makes a short
trip to Meridian. After that he stays on earth for a while before he finally
arrives in Kandrakar. And the Oracle NEVER noticed ANYTHING of it all the time!
The gate
There's something weird about the gate getting opened by Will. It has to go
somewhere, but where to? It can't slide into anything. And there's more! The
lock in the pillar is gone! And shouldn't it be more easy to have a rail for
the gate? It's a lot easier to be moved then.
