DH has his hair over one eye, & the other seems half-awake. Only after he loses his mask (he wears a football over his face), is the face the same in both.
2nd, there are about 85 to 90 panels omitted from the version that DH is using. Not that DH cut any, just that its source did. Among these is an entire 75 panel sequence featuring a robot air force that goes out to destroy the flying saucers (that resemble a pair of lips). This sequence would be between rows 2 & 3 of page 205 of volume 17.
3rd, there are a few panels whose sequence is different in the DH than in the JLV. occasionally a panel will be after the one that follows it in the JLV. I do not understand why, except that, perhaps to make them fit better on the pages.
The JLV has a 3 row 2 column format, compared to the DH's 4 row 3 column one. In many cases, the far right and far left edges are cropped in the DH; whose panels are rectangular; while the JLV has square panels for the most part, so the cropping is necessary. A few panels are wide and short, usually still using 3 rows; likewise, some are tall, entire height of page, but still 2 columns. More than a few panels cover entire pages; these, the DH places on 2 of 3 columns, and usually 3 of 4 rows. Yet, often DH crops these as only the upper or lower halves are significant. Also, DH often splits tall thin or short & wide panels, into 2 of its standard rectangles, with only the significant parts present, the middle cropped out.
