I recall Marvel’s Battlestar Galactica adaptation ran into similar issues. The artists got too close to the actor likenesses somewhere in the middle of the run. They also ran afoul of the differences between the theatrical and tv versions of the pilot, and other last minute changes, like the Cylons being reptilian creatures instead of robots who turned on the flesh and blood Cylons. Baltar was also inexplicably drawn bald in the super sized edition.

Wow, it’s all coming back to me! My brother had the paperback version of that one. I liked it! I think the duress under which these adaptations were created made for much more interesting versions than a direct and accurate adaptation would.
