Daniel, Part 2

(Continued from Part 1)

As he has with so many other stories, artist Frank Bolle covered the story of "Daniel" TWICE during his 20+ year run on the BOYS' LIFE series.  While he took 6 installments to do it in 1984, when he redid it again in 1994, 2 of the earlier episodes got SKIPPED.  I interpret this as someone in the 1990's trying to "clean up" (read: CENSOR) the BIBLE series, by leaving out some of the more "controversial" or "downbeat" episodes.

As before, I'll present Bolle's pairs of episodes back-to-back for easy comparison. 

VERSIONS 4 & 5
Note that the 1st episode, "Nebuchadnezzar Destroys Jerusalem" was SKIPPED in 1994.  I've included it on the previous page

Note that the above episode was also skipped in 1994.  Don't you hate that?
