* OurWerewolvesAreDifferent: The werewolves follow the same rules as the 1940s movie series, with some fudging to cover inconsistencies. For instance, the movies are inconsistent about whether Talbot becomes a werewolf "when the Autumn moon is bright" or "when the moon is full and bright"; in the comic, it's both: Talbot transforms on full moons, and every night during Autumn.



* {{Retcon}}: The movies are inconsistent about whether Talbot becomes a werewolf "when the Autumn moon is bright" or "when the moon is full and bright". In the comic, it's both: Talbot transforms on full moons, and every night during Autumn.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
** WordOfGod states that it was going to span a 70+ year timeline, out of sequence, and attempt to marry FilmNoir and classic horror tropes, but it ended up ending abruptly during the second story arc when the whole studio imploded.
** WordOfGod claimed that had the webcomic continued, Talbot and Dracula would have had an annual one-day truce to have dinner together on Christmas.

details extracted from the Lawrence Talbot character page

Added DiffLines:

''The Talbot Chronicles'' was a short-lived webcomic that mixed the Franchise/UniversalHorror movies and FilmNoir. The protagonist was Larry Talbot, from the ''[[Film/TheWolfMan1941 Wolf Man]]'' movies, who had gone into business as a private eye/monster hunter, trying to make up for his [[TheAtoner involuntary murderings]].

%%It was at http://studiotriumph.com/talbot/, but the site is now defunct.

!!This webcomic provides examples of:

* TheAtoner: Talbot.
* ContinuityNod: The villain of the second story arc is almost certainly Elsa Frankenstein, last seen in ''Film/FrankensteinMeetsTheWolfman''.
* DeadpanSnarker: Talbot.
* GuileHero: What Talbot eventually evolves into.
* KarmicDeath: In the comic's first story arc, Talbot [[spoiler: wolfs out on the villain who'd been faking werewolf attacks.]]
* KnightInSourArmor: Talbot.
* PrivateDetective: Talbot.
* PrivateEyeMonologue: In the second story arc of the webcomic.
* {{Retcon}}: The movies are inconsistent about whether Talbot becomes a werewolf "when the Autumn moon is bright" or "when the moon is full and bright". In the comic, it's both: Talbot transforms on full moons, and every night during Autumn.
