HARVEY "Beauty and the Beach"

When summer vacation begins, comic book teens run for, where else...

...the beach!

This never-reprinted tale from Marvel's Harvey #5 (1972) was the penultimate issue of their last attempt at "teen" humor.
Written and penciled by Stu Schwartzberg and inked by Henry Scarpelli, clearly imitating Dan DeCarlo's art style which became the "look" of Archie Comics, this book and several Millie the Model titles ended in 1972-73, leaving Archie standing alone in the teen humor genre to this day.

STILL STAR-CROSSED aka Romeo and Juliet: the Next Generation

You have to give Shonda Rhimes credit for chutzpah...

..it isn't many people who would try to do a live-action sequel to Romeo and Juliet!

A re-imagining, yes!

An update, yes!

Lord knows they've been done to death!

But a sequel???

Now that's chutzpah!

(BTW, Romeo and Juliet are dead!

None of that "look, we were wrong, they're still alive" BS!)
 To be fair, the series is based on a kool, popular YA book by Melinda Taub, and Shonda decided to carry the fact that R&J was the prototype for the soap operas of today to its' logical conclusion, making a soap opera out of it, using Taub's book as the launching pad!

But does it work?

As Dynasty-style soap opera, definitely!

As a sequel to the original story, sort of!

As a historically-accurate period piece, it's on the level of Hercules: the Legendary Journeys!

It is enjoyable, campy fun!

But, hopefully, it'll inspire teens and 'tweens to search out the original R&J in any of the many formats it's available in...like this comics adaptation...

Part 1

Part 2

Conclusion

Sadly, ABC has moved Still Star-Crossed from Monday to the "death slot" of Saturday nights beginning July 8, so it looks like they'll "burn it off" and let the show fade into obscurity.

Watch or DVR it before it disappears!
