Continuity Issues II

When Judge Dredd was adapted from the British comic paper, 2000 AD, to an American comic book, someone commented that the story was set several centuries earlier or later than it had been in the original version. Maybe this change in the dates was just an up front signal to the readers that here they were reading stories set in a different continuity. There is an unwritten rule that when a story is adapted from page to screen, the continuity changes. The same principle might apply to some page-to-page adaptations.

Poul Anderson's Kith future history exists in two continuities. The original versions of some of Anderson's Technic History stories do not fit into the continuity of the emergent future history series. Conceivably, later Time Patrol stories show the Patrol agents guarding an altered version of their history without realizing it.
