Yeah, it says issue #1 on the cover. I have no idea if there were any more and to tell you the truth, I can't even recall where I got it from. From an Ebay auction, but I don't recall who or where.

Yes, that is the comic I recall you showing me.

Hi Michael,
Apologies for the delayed response to this post. I've been sick w/ the
flu for the last few days.
With regards to foreign comics, I have a few representations from
various countries in my collection which include Mexico, Spain, Portugal,
Finland, France, U.K and of coarse Australia. Most of these are direct
reprints of the Marvel magazines. Some include articles, again mostly
reprints of the U.S stories.
I have only one comic which features a newly created story line based on
the TV series characters. It is from Argentina.
It's dated Jan '77 and is a 36 page black and white comic. The graphics
are kind of crummy but it's an interesting example all the same.
See attached scan.
Best,
KEN

.htmlHi Matt,

Yes, it's worth it to get Eric Greene's book, even though I do think he goes
a bit too far with what he thinks the filmmakers intended.

Be sure you get the paperback version because it has a lot of rare photos
from Jacob's private collection.

And, yes, it does sound like it would have made a better sequel than BENEATH,
especially since it has no mutants.

.htmlI seem to recall that there are 4 unknown scripts from the tv series floating around. However these could might be totaly new scripts, whereas some are just different versions of used episodes with different titles.

on www.ebay.com you can find most of these turn up including unused scripts for the movies including the new movie which I just purchased myself!

I have read the Rod Serling scripts in Ape Chronicles but I can recall dimly reading, possibly in Ape Chronicles, a script for the TV series episode called "The Hostage" where they are all in an underground bunker of some sort. Have I got that right? I can not, at the moment, find that particular issue and I wonder if there is any chance that you could possibly e-mail a copy of that over to me. Have you got any ideas regarding tracking down other scripts? There is mention of another script called "a Fallen God" and I am sure that there must have been others. With all best wishes.

Yeah, in the book it's ahhh . . . well, as Eddy Izzard would say . . .Pretty
fuckin' French! Even Boulle thought the book wasn't cinematic enough to make
into a movie, and he was right. You couldn't make a shooting script for the
book verbatim. But look what they did with it! Showed him! I would have
liked to seen a modern Ape society, but again, even with a tight budget look
what they did with it. I hope the new film can say as much considering all
the advantages they've had to work with.

.html Hey Gang,

I spoke with FOX INTERACTIVE yesterday about the new interactive APES game that' do out in the spring.  Fox is "restructuring" its interactive division and it now looks like they will be selling off the  distribution rights to outside sources, whereas before they had planned on handling it all themselves. It's still due for a spring release but at this point we have no idea who's going to be releasing it.

ALSO:

Someone on the list had said they were searching for a CORNELIUS Medicom figure.  Felix at Fantasiatoyz says he has all of the ones that have been released so far.  So you might want to give him a try.  <http://www.fantasiatoyz.com/list.html">

Check out www.bigfins.com. It's a takeoff on Survivor. Has something
titled "Dr. Zora's Thesis". She's a chimp scientist studying the human tribes
in Survivor. Somewhat amusing. Have fun, Go Apes, John P.S. Hey Rory,
still haven't gotten Cinescape. Doesn't look good. GDYATH!!!!!!!!!

.htmlHey John,

Finally got my Cinescape today, Friday March 2nd.  I wonder what the problem
was.  Might have something to do with the mag having been sold to Fandom.com.
  Anyway, not many pictures.  Kind of a disappointment.  Hope there's more in
the future.  Meanwhile, there's a good interview with Rick Baker at Corona's
Coming Attractions (who got it from someplace else).  I liked Baker knocking
the background masks from the original.  They really were bad, and in PLANET
they actually zoom in on them a couple times.  BENEATH is nearly made a
shambles by too many background masks on the gorillas.

Hey, where is everybody in this group?  Not much to say, I guess.

-- Rory<.html

.html <.html

.htmlHey Alex,

How's it going?  Yeah, the trailer looks great.  Really makes me want to see
more, especially Tim Roth's makeup.   I read today that filming ends this
Thursday, March 8th, which is the exact same day they shot the
Heston/Robinson test film back in 1966!!!  A good omen, I hope.  Then ILM has
100 SFX shots to do, so we really don't get to see a true trailer to this
film for probably three months ("give or take a decade").   Oh, let the
months fly by!

Best,

I too purchased copies of the cartoon series and a few episodes of the TV
series
from Ebay. The quality was awful! If someone on the list can provide
copies, I'd
be happy to pay. I can also "master" them to DVD for anyone who might be
interested
in keeping them for a long time.

I'm kind of new to the POTA craze, though I was a big fan as a kid. I
remember being
horrified of the gorillas...and yet still couldn't take my eyes of the screen.

I'm a longtime collector of all things related to a Western called "Have
Gun-Will Travel"
and recently wrote a book about the series called the "HGWT Companion". My
web site
is at:

http://www.havegunwilltravel.net

Also a big collector of Major Matt Mason, the 1960's astronaut toy from
Mattel. I guess now
that the POTA bug has bitten, I've got something else to collect! Any help
with the
TV episodes and the records would be appreciated.

Remember that newscaster who interviews Dr. Hasslein about his theory towards
the beginning of ESCAPE? He was an actual reporter by the name of Bill Bonds
and he was kind of a local media celebrity here in Detroit. He was known as
great reporter, but also known for a lot of controversy. He had repeated
drunk driving offenses and even showed up drunk on the news set several
times. A colorful character, he had a wide assortment of toupees that he
would wear on the air. He once challenged ex-Detroit Mayor Coleman Young
(also a controversial figure) to a boxing match on the air (it never took
happened). I once saw him at a Red Wings game and was tempted to go ask him
how he ever ended up in ESCAPE, but I didn't feel like hassling the guy. He
hasn't been on the news for several years, but he has recently resurfaced in
a bunch of cheesy commercial for a local furniture store.

For whatever reason, I just felt like sharing that.

I found this piece of fan fiction that tied the POTA TV series to Star Trek:

to make this enjoyable. I thought it was pretty clever:

.html Good luck with you quest Rory.
Up until recently I worked for TCFHE in Australia and was persistent enough to get them to release the TV series on VHS here in Australia. We developed the packaging locally and when we offered it to other territories to use should they want to release the TV series also, there were no takers.
But that was a year ago, after July 27, I'm sure Fox will be revisiting the potential of releasing all and any POTA products that they have the rights to.
I did enquire about the release of the Cartoon series and was told that compared to the likes of other Kids properties such as Power Rangers, X-Men etc, that the APES cartoon was not exactly high on the list of priorities.
Who knows, maybe they'll release a DVD box set that contains both the live action and animated series'.
Well it COULD happen.

They are very definitely NOT bootlegs. They are legitimately produced by
Film Score Monthly magazine. The magazine caters to the soundtrack
specialist and this is why they know the sort of obscure releases that
people want, yet are not likely to appear in shops any time soon. It is also
why they are produced on a small scale (very limited distribution - FSM and
a select few retailers - and are limited, usually to 3000 copies).

So for Fox shutting them down, noy likely - in fact I think it's the
opposite. They must have some kind of deal with Fox - go and look at the
numerous releases so far and count how many of them are from Fox pictures.

They're limited, but very definitely officially-approved releases. In fact,
Film Score Monthly usually avoid bootlegs - they have a policy that they
never review a CD on their site that they know is a boot.

Alan

.htmlHey T,

I didn't mean to steer you wrong.  The BENEATH and CONQUEST/BATTLE CDs from
Film Score Monthly are not bootlegs.  They produced from the original master
tapes at Fox, and are released in limited editions of 3000 copies.  I don't
know why Fox isn't doing it themselves (probably don't think there's enough
money in it), but these are things you should get.

.html ----Original Message Follows---- From: p_etting To: comicsape@... Subject: POTA new soundtracks Date: Sat, 03 Mar 2001 14:08:33 -0400 Hello Terry, Just thought you might be interested, if you didn't know already, that Film Score Monthly ,the people who released the sound track to BENEATH last year have released the complete soundtracks to CONQUEST and BATTLE on one cd with Lalo Schifren's TV theme as a bonus. They do encourage suggestions from fans and I'm trying to get the entire POTA television scores released. Perhaps your fan club can help. The following is an excerpt from my note to them: "I hope you will consider releasing a complete ESCAPE FROM THE PLANET OF THE APES soundtrack. The abbreviated suite on Varese is barely 54% of the score, clocking in at only 16:27. (The complete score, available as a bootleg (Soundtrack Library) coupled with DAMNATION ALLEY, runs 29:42 . A different boot (Pony Boy) coupled with MEPHISTO WALTZ is also incomplete, lacking 2 cues. Namely, the sequence when Zira says good-bye to Heloise, and the sequence where the apes walk toward the oil field at night remarking that the lights of the city look like stars.) But besides the brevity, many of the cues are truncated so as to "flow seamlessly" into one another and thereby omitting all those "unnecessary" notes. It really deserves a better presentation than this. And the same is true of THE OTHER. It's as if Varese was preserving one score to butcher another. That's just my opinion. Many people may like the "suite" thing. I do not, and I hope you will consider correcting it at some point in the future. And hopefully you will also consider releasing some of the wonderful musical dissonance from the PLANET OF THE APES TV series. The first 6 episodes had original scores written for them. Lalo Schifren scored episodes 1,2, and 4: ESCAPE TO TOMORROW (pilot), THE GLADIATORS, and THE GOOD SEEDS. Richard (Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea) LaSalle scored episode 3: THE TRAP. And Earl (I Spy) Hagen scored episodes 5 and 6: THE LEGACY, and TOMORROW'S TIDE. I would try to put one (or all; how about a 3 disc set) out while the movie is being promoted, that way you get free advertising. These are all challenging, remarkable scores that should be preserved. " Anyway Terry, that's just an FYI. Hopefully we'll see more stuff released with the movie. Paul Ettinger Nova Scotia, Canada <.html

I have a CD of "Escape" PLUS the "Mephisto Waltz" ( also Goldsmith) which has
very plane packaging that was released by Pony Express. It claims to be volume
one in a series of "film music by jerry goldsmith". It also says that it's for
promotional use only. So if it's not a bootleg it may be a test disc for a legit
CD that was never released? The total running time of the "Escape" score is
over 21 minutes, so it's longer than the "Escape" suite (16:27) that appears on
the most recent Varese Sarbande release of the "Planet" soundtrack.
Just on that release, the liner notes are by Jeff Bond from Film Score Monthly
who also produced and wrote liner notes for the Beneath CD release.
I'm just full of it today.
Trivia, that is.

KEN

Hey Rory, finally got Cinescape today. Nothin' we didn't already know.
Still, it's good to see POTA out there, so to speak. Later, John

.htmlWith the exception of the suite on the Varese Sarabande CD of the complete
PLANET score, all other CDs of ESCAPE are bootlegs.  There is still to be an
offical release of the complete score to ESCAPE, as even these bootlegs
aren't complete.  E-mail Film Score Monthly at mailbag@...
and tell them you want a complete "offical" release of the ESCAPE score, as
well as whatever music might survive from the TV show.  If enough fans
request it you can be sure they'll get around to it.

The explanation for this is in the liner notes (page 7, bottom paragraph,
left column). Basically, the prologue music was taken from another cue
for BATTLE (included on the CD as well) and tracked into the beginning of
the film.

Just got my copy today and am loving it!!

Nope, that's a boot. It's just common practice to print something like
"promo" on it to make it look otherwise. I don't want to encourage illegal
bootlegging of Apes goods, but if you want to get ahold of the love theme
from Escape (that rather nice 70s-sounding ditty that plays while the apes
go shopping) then this is currently the only way to get hold of it.

I suppose you get someone to copy the bootleg for you, then the bootleggers
aren't getting any money either! :)

This would be a more difficult one I suspect. For one thing, I don't think
Fox would be too excited at the prospect of an Escape release on the grounds
that they've already released a CD containing a lot of the music (though if
they were paid only a flat fee for it's use by Varese then I guess it's more
likely). Secondly, if FSM were to release another Apes CD they could start
to hear a bit of a backlash due to a perceived bias on the part of some
fans.

Of course, we'd probably have the Goldsmith and Schifrin fans on our side
too...

And anyway, there's no such thing as too much PotA!

Alan
PS As a small aside, FSM announced recently that The Omega Man has sold more
than 2000 of its 3000 copies - not bad. Wonder how the Apes releases are
performing?

Actually my goal has been to convert all known POTA audio recordings to mp3 format but I havent ever found time to get around to doing it!

Yep, that's true I suppose. I understand however that while they may have a
good relationship with Fox, Jerry Goldsmith isn't too fond of them.

And by the way, "Bandolero!" has been released - by previous Apes CD guys
Intrada. Like Intrada's Apes CD it's not exactly complete, but it's probably
a fair representation of the music.

>What do you think about the double disc release later this month of

Not familiar with "Cleopatra", or indeed much of Alex North's work I'm
afraid. Hey, for big sprawling historical epics, you just can't beat Miklos

"It would be up to Varese Sarabande whether or not to

Quote from Lukas Kendall over on rec.music.movies - I guess an FSM release
looks very unlikely then.

Small favor to ask of the group: could someone who has a recent issue of
Starlog (or someone that lives near a newsstand that sells it) look on
the letters page and tell me what their e-mail address is? I'd really
appreciate it. Speaking of which, did that issue with the Natalie Trundy
interview ever come out?

Actually, not quite. The TV series ended in 1974, the cartoon series in
1976. The 2600 didn't become prominent until 1980 or 81.

Hey,

What do the big letters ("M," "V") on the front of some of the soldier apes
from the TV show mean? I am assuming that they designate rank. Which letter
goes with which rank?

One of the Medicom Soldier Apes has an "M" if someone doesn't know what I'm
talking about.

Thanks,

Matt

Don't forget there's also just the double lines down like an eleven.

Now that's an understatement if I ever heard one!! :-) Again, I have
to quote a review I read about the book: "Sometimes, a school bus driving
across the desert is JUST a school bus driving across the desert".

And what's the problem with mutants? BENEATH is a great movie all around,
and deals with as many different social and political issues as the first
one did, albeit in a slightly different manner.

Back me up here, Alex...

After viewing the trailer a few times, my concern is that Burton is
taking a well written series deeply rooted in social/political allegory
(although they were still very entertaining) and turning it into a simple
popcorn munching, action flick. Not that there's anything wrong with
those types of films, but I'd certainly expect more from the POTA
franchise. I think that at the end of the day, the new POTA will be very
similar to Burton's remake of Sleepy Hollow inasmuch as it'll be
enjoyable in it's own right, but the only thing it has in common with the
original/source material is the title.

Michael,

For the book and record sets, I have all four POTA sets, both Batman,
ManThing, Frankenstein (although it's misplaced at the moment), the first
four Superhero sets (Spiderman, Hulk, Captain America & The Falcon,
Fantastic Four). I also have the 12" version of the aforementioned
Superhero stories (booklets weren't released with the full albums), two
different Space: 1999, and The Six Million Dollar Man. There were also a
series of 7" releases (ran at 33 RPM) that didn't feature artwork. From
those I have three Batman, two Spiderman, Metamorpho/Plastic Man,
Flash/Aquaman, and Mountain of the Delphi (sans the cover). Someone knew
I was a POTA fan and gave me some stuff while cleaning out his basement.
Among them was a copy of the BATTLE book/record set (though it was
missing the first and last few pages) and 'Delphi' was in the book along
with the BATTLE 45 (fortunately I found a full version of BATTLE later).

One thing I noticed was that- much like the POTA movies- a lot of the
Power stories didn't exactly end on happy notes. The
Spiderman/Hulk/Captain America/FF stories all had downer endings, Man
Thing was about the ghost of a clown that committed suicide (and the
suicide was part of the story no less), the Monster gets killed at the
end of Frankenstein, and so on. If anyone here has either the Dracula or
Wolfman sets, I'm curious to know how those ended.

Kind of makes you think how impression made upon us in our youth can
stick with us our entire life.

BTW Michael, are you the one who posted the link for the images of the TV
series videos released in Australia all those moons ago?

PS- Has anyone found the Power Records tribute site?

> No, no voice credits in the books.

There were a few different series of the Power Book & Record sets. One
for POTA, one for superheroes (Spider-Man, the Hulk, Captain America, and
the Fantastic Four), and one for Marvel Comics monsters (Frankenstein,
Tomb of Dracula, Man-Thing, and I think Man-Wolf). There were no voice
credits in any of them, but I do believe they were all produced out of
the same studio because the same voices appeared on the different albums.
As someone already mentioned, there were also 12" albums that contained
the stories but not the booklets (and the turn the page "ping" and "now
please turn the record over to the other side" were removed). There were
also several for the DC superheroes, some book and records, some just 7"
records with no booklet, and of course there were the POTA stories based
on the TV series that were released in 7" and 12" versions. Come to think
of it, I have quite a few of these in my collection.

OK, who wants to start a Power Records website? :-)

I saw the trailer, at last.

I won't be eating my words, however. Still no evidence this is a thinking
mans movie. Just seems like gorilla wars, a typical action picture, though a
good one. But I am hoping that Burton and Co. can slip some though provoking
material by Zanuck, like the writers did on the original. Of course being
black listed Michael Wilson had more practice at it, and Zauck may not be
fooled a second time. But since the movie is practically in the can, there's
little hope of that.

I was there when "Starlog" interviewed her. It will probably come out
around the time of the movie (isn't everything?).

Get the Greene paperback. It's cheaper, there's rare photos and the new

Hey Alex,

How's it going?  Yeah, the trailer looks great.  Really makes me want to see
more, especially Tim Roth's makeup.   I read today that filming ends this
Thursday, March 8th, which is the exact same day they shot the
Heston/Robinson test film back in 1966!!!  A good omen, I hope.  Then ILM has
100 SFX shots to do, so we really don't get to see a true trailer to this
film for probably three months ("give or take a decade").   Oh, let the
months fly by!

Best,
Rory

-- Rory<.html

.html <.html

.htmlOkay group,

It's Sunday, "The Lone Gunmen" isn't doing it for me, and I've got work
tomorrow.   So, let me hear what some of you think of this theory of mine.   

You know in PLANET where Cornelius shows Taylor his map?   Well, take a good
look at the "dead sea,"  then find a map of the US that shows Chesapeake Bay
in Maryland and Virginia.  Now turn the map so that the Atlantic Ocean is in
the south.   What do you think?

The way the end of PLANET is shot, Taylor has to be riding north when he
finds the Statue of Liberty.  So, the dead sea, the cornfield, Ape City, it's
all south and west of the Statue of Liberty.
So, how come in BENEATH Brent stumbles into Queensbourgh Plaza, which is east
on New York City on Long Island?  Because of that I think there are some APES
fans who think Ape City is supposed to be on Long Island or in Connecticut,
but I think it's more probably in the Smokey Mountains someplace.  This would
have been a good place for Caesar to take his people to hide in caves or
something when the bombs began to fall.

That, of course, would mean that the city in CONQUEST was part of a huge East
Coast megalopolis that would stretch from Boston to below Washington DC......
in 1991?!!!!!

Alright, just one more thought.  Can anyone explain to me how in BATTLE the
apes are wearing the same outfits they wear in PLANET?   In 2000 years, give
or take a decade, the apes never changed their clothing style?   (Just
another reason BATTLE is the silliest of the APES films, I think.)

Okay, that's "Enough of the Planet of the Apes."   Everybody have a good
Monday.  Those in the east (where PLANET took place), have a nice snow day
tomorrow, and also everyone remember that Wednesday is the day Arthur P.
Jacobs was born.  Let's all tell Jeff to tell Natalie, "Happy Birthday to
Arthur."

At this point I am tentatively planning to sell these "oversized" comics for

$4.00 US funds each   (discounts available if want a few)

shipping to US/canada will be $4.00 US funds

shipping airmail overseas will be approx $7.00 US funds

This comic will tentatively ship mid-April to me.

In June an official comic book adapation of the movie will come out.

I will get those in at that time too and I am suspecting cover price to be $4 or $5 depending on thickness!

I am also going to try and get in stock all magazines this spring/summer with POTA references.  (Cinescape etc)

So if anyone is looking for any specific issues let me know and I'll try to help out.

a Burton-PotA poster and preview of the Dark Horse comic

April 4 2001 is the due date.

large percentage of Apes fans when I say I'd like a bit of head scratching

I'm sure Fox will release all the TV stuff shortly. I don't think the
soundtracks are boots, "Film Score Monthly" is too well established, Fox is
