I, also, did not like many of the more unusual elements introduced in
the Terror comics.
I thought the mutants looked liked cheesy, bad 1950's era, sci-fi
rejects. That along with gypsies, vikings and the pschodrome. Not my
taste, at least for POTA. I wish they had explored more of the
established POTA universe as laid out in the movies and TV show.

That being said, I do think there was a lot of positive aspects to
the Terror series. First and foremost, for me, was the beautiful
comic art by Mike Ploog. True, he at first drew the gorillas with
bangs, but he eventually nailed it pretty good. Issue #8 really
stands out in my mind. I think the art was reproduced from his
original pencils and it looked beautiful.
And I also liked some of the story elements that Terror introduced
such as showing us our first glimpse of the long ignored fourth
member of the great apes - a gibbon.
I thought that hidden bunker in Mount Rushmore was pretty interesting
along with the Presidential audio tape that trys to fill in some of
the post Conquest story.
The knife wielding gypsy (I forgot his name) was an interesting
character in that he hints at life on other continents on the Planet
of the Apes. I wish they had explored that more. How did ape
societies develope in other countries?
Terror was not pure POTA for me, but it was usually entertaining.

Just to let everyone know, Michael and I followed up with Rittenhouse after they reacted positively to the card files that Michael forwarded to them. I wanted to ask their permission to print up a small number of sets using a printer I work with (the same one who did the Beware the Beast prints). To our surprise, Rittenhouse expressed an interest in printing these themselves. I want to warn everyone that the discussion we're having is in the very early stages. When there's more information we'll let you all know.

I was just watching the old Star Trek episode with our

own William Windom.  Boy Bill sure did ham it up as

the crazed Commodore Decker.  I still love those shows

in spite, or because of, the primitive SFX.  It show what

you can do with a limited budget and a few low tech

solutions.  I swear that planet eater is just a cone of tin

foil!  Surely a POTA Fan Flick is within reach.

 

Also, speaking of William Conrad narrations, the show

after it, Buck Rodgers, had one of his intros.

For each of the five original POTA films, FOX produced and distributed promotional "Heralds" (fictional newspapers) that local theaters distributed to advertise the release of each new film. However, no Herald was ever produced for to promote the TV series.
