Not quite correct there. In the original, Klattu tells us we can be as violent as we want, as long as we keep it here on earth. If we take our violent ways out into space, we'll be destroyed. In the craptastic remake, the Aliens have come to save the planet from us.

Well, the first half of the fourth season of "Voyage to the Bottom of
the Sea" was released a few weeks ago on DVD and I've been renting it
from Netflix. There's an episode from Nov. 5, 1967 titled "Fatal Cargo"
that guess stars Woodrow Parfrey. It's a stinky episode, badly written
and directed, but what's interesting is that Parfrey must have done this
at Fox pretty close to when he was also doing PLANET, and the episode,
in which Parfrey plays this insane scientist, also features Janos
Prohaska as a super-strong, out of control albino gorilla. The suit
looks to be the same he wore in an episode of "Star Trek," except that
that one had a horn attached to the head, and isn't anymore convincing
than the gorilla suit he used in ESCAPE.

The next thing I'm planning on renting from Netflix is an early episode
of "The Invaders" that features Roddy McDowall.

I have both seasons of The Invaders, and they are certainly worth watching. Gene Hackman is one (I always thought he would have made a good ape since he can do anything). The Roddy McDowall episode is one of my favorites and he's tremendous in it.

You ain't lying about that. Jennifer used to have a gorgeous set. She lives in Brooklyn, I saw her with her kids and husband near Prospect Park. Her best looks were in the Rocketeer.
I'd say calling the folks who did TDTESS remake no talent hacks... is an insult to no-talent hacks. Those fools couldn't even write a movie for the SFC on saturdays!

This is some exciting news, I think, for PLANET OF THE APES fans.

One of the first newsstand magazines to provide a complete overview of
the APES series, was CASTLE OF FRANKENSTEIN, a late '50s to mid '70s
contemporary of FAMOUS MONSTERS OF FILMLAND.

When I first saw the APES issue, I was struck by the POTA wraparound
cover, by my old friend, Marcus Boas, here:

POTACoF23a.jpg
http://www.geocities.com/unifan2001/CoF23a.jpg

That is, he's my old friend, now!

;-)

Back in 1973, it would still be a few years before we met!

Marcus did other covers for COF, and he pretty quickly went on to paint
covers for HEAVY METAL magazine, Jim Steranko's MEDIASCENE, one of the
hardback CONAN series... He also did a ton of movie posters, and other
fantasy artwork.

(You can see some of it, here:

"marcus boas" - Google Image
http://images.google.com/images?gbv=1&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&q=%22marcus+boas%22&start=0&sa=N

Marcus is still more than active, as any of you who have visited any of
the New York City comic book conventions can attest to!

Marc recently mentioned to me that he'd be more than happy to paint
recreations of the 1970s PLANET OF THE APES magazine cover.

Or, for that matter, any other original fantasy artwork, APES, or
otherwise.

The other good news is that his prices are more than reasonable.

If you're interested, give him a holler, after 12 noon, at:

1-212-989-6193.


Marcus screens his calls, so when you get his answering machine, just
mention POTA, and/or me, and he'll be sure to get in touch.

Best, Jim

Does anyone have any images NOT of the boxes but of the kits built up?

No but I scanned a load of images of the blueprints (for produced and unproduced Addar model kits) that were for sale on ebay a year or so ago. When I get them all into one file I'll send them to the site.

So, I'm curious...am I the only one in this group who enjoyed
Malibu's Planet of the Apes comic-book run? [Cue Chris Lawless:
"Yes, you are."] Marvel's and Mr. Comics' POTA stories get the most
praise among fans, as far as I can see--and understandably so, as
both are wonderful reading. But I've always been surprised at how
little respect the Malibu run receives.

Sure, it had weak artwork during the earlier issues, and sure, it was
hampered at times by silliness (Frito and JoJo, for instance) or just
plain bad ideas (Ape Nation, Ape City and the annual come to mind, as
does the reanimation of Breck's and Caesar's spirits in the final storyline).

But I've always felt the Malibu run had a LOT going for
it. Alexander, Coure, Grunt, Ollo, Heston, Dr. Moto and Jacob were
fantastic characters. And Urchak's Folly, Blood of the Apes,
Countdown Zero, The Sins of the Father, Quitting Time and The
Forbidden Zone still stand as some of my favorite Apes stories of all time.

What do the rest of you think? Surely, I can't be the only Malibu
fan out there--someone else HAD to be buying and lovin' this series
besides me and Terry Hoknes (whose letters of praise appeared in
several issues). Come on, folks--how about a little love for the Malibu line?

Well, the first half of the fourth season of "Voyage to the Bottom of

from Netflix. There's an episode from Nov. 5, 1967 titled "Fatal Cargo"

that guess stars Woodrow Parfrey. It's a stinky episode, badly written

and directed, but what's interesting is that Parfrey must have done this


at Fox pretty close to when he was also doing PLANET, and the episode,

Prohaska as a super-strong, out of control albino gorilla. The suit

I think `enjoyed' may be pushing it. `tolerated' might be closer to the truth. They WERE published during `the wilderness years' and helped keep POTA in the public consciousness. I clearly remember the excitement of finding issue 1 on the shelves.

Stories and artwork varied greatly from appalling to superb. The stories you mention without doubt represent the best and worst of the run. I always felt `Blood of the Apes' was ruined by the rather silly idea that a human could wear an ape mask and have a real ape fall in love with her – but, as others have said I suppose that's no sillier than the idea of talking apes etc in the first place.

Perhaps my all-time favorite panel was from `Urchak's folly', which featured a full splash page that showed two gorillas sitting outside a cell (may have been the last panel of part 1?) I was really struck by the way Chaloner portrayed the gorillas as `real' with real proportions etc but of course had them clothed and holding rifles.

The Ape riders, Frito, Jojo and Count Ape-ula just make me feel ill :0)

I can't for the life of me remember `The Forbidden Zone' – I'll have to dig it out and give it another read.

That was one of the fascinating aspects of your

Yeah, I'm the same way. There's a lot of
crap--but there's usually gold among the crap.
Take the Burton film (no, really--please take
it!). The movie itself was very flawed--but the
Dark Horse spin-off comic was excellent.

I just re-read that yesterday, and it still holds
up as one of Malibu's finest storis.

Yep. That was in the pre-Internet days, so we
often had no idea something was coming until it
showed up. I remember walking into a comic store
and doing a double-take upon seeing issue #4 (I
think that was the issue) sitting on the
shelf. I immediately bought the first four
issues and read them once I got home. My initial
reaction: "Wow, this art is terrible. But the
story is great." And until a new artist was
brought in, that pretty much summed up my feeling
about the series. Interestingly, my favorite
stories were mostly the miniseries and
one-shots--aside from Ape Nation and Ape City,
which I think are awful, all of the stories
outside the monthly series were fantastic. Andy
yet, as much as I enjoyed the monthly title, only
two stories--"Countdown Zero" (the story behind
Cornelius' talking doll) and "Quitting Time" (the
tale of the guy who gets the shoeshine in
Conquest)--were what I'd call excellent. The
rest ranged from very good to stupid.

I know, man. That's the one aspect of "Blood of
the Apes" that always annoys me. How the hell
advanced would Myndith have to be to create a
mask so real that no one realized she wasn't an
ape? But, then, if the apes could go from
primitive to having an entire society of
academics and scholars in only two decades, then
I suppose anything is possible.

Chaloner's work was fantastic. I'm still blown
away by how well-written and well-drawn "Urchak's
Folly" is. There are some brilliant
characterizations in that story, and some great
concepts. I love the idea that the apes captured
a Forbidden Zone mutant and made him their
servant, never knowing he could communicate with other humans via his mind.

>The Ape riders, Frito, Jojo and Count Ape-ula just make me feel ill :0)

The Ape Riders. My God. Could it have gotten
any dumber? Oh, wait, yes--the ape vampire you
mentioned. Okay, then I suppose it could get
dumber. Frito and JoJo were a mixed bag. The
whole "guarding the statue" and "constantly
beating each other up" motifs quickly grew
annoying. However, I have to admit, that whole
"tastes great / less filling" argument they had
after finding a room filled with beer was
hilarious, and the site of Frito vomiting after
viewing a Playboy centerfold cracked me the hell
up. I'm an idiot like that sometimes.

>I can't for the life of me remember `The
>Forbidden Zone' ­ I'll have to dig it out and give it another read.

It was about a society called the Primacy, where
apes and speaking humans had learned to co-exist,
until a descendant of Kolp led a holy mutant
crusade to destroy them. Great stuff!

Anyone here that lives in the NJ/NYC area going to see the showing of a
newly restored print of Fox's 1959 "Journey To The Center Of The Earth"
this weekend at the Loews Theatre in Jersey City this Saturday night?

So, I'm curious...am I the only one in this group who enjoyed

"Yes, you are."] Marvel's and Mr. Comics' POTA stories get the most
praise among fans, as far as I can see--and understandably so, as

does the reanimation of Breck's and Caesar's spirits in the final storyline).

it. Alexander, Coure, Grunt, Ollo, Heston, Dr. Moto and Jacob were
fantastic characters. And Urchak's Folly, Blood of the Apes,
Countdown Zero, The Sins of the Father, Quitting Time and The

I have to agree with you, Jeff. Had the monthly comic had a rotating writing staff, the quality might have been more consistent. Still, "Countdown Zero" and "Quitting Time" were both published in the latter half of the series, so had they rotated writers, we might not have gotten those gems.

And really, how can you go wrong with a character like Zar--a white-eyed bilingual gorilla (English and Spanish), who relentlessly tracks his prey halfway across the United States, then treats them to Chamomile tea and civilized discourse before executing them? Brilliant stuff!

When Charles Marshall scored a hit like that, it was a homerun...and when he fouled, we ended up with vampire mandrills and simian seances.

See, that's what I mean. People HAVE been largely negative about them, you're right. It's a shame, though--there really are a number of solid stories in the run. If you're ever so inclined, I recommend checking them out.

Well, the first half of the fourth season of "Voyage to the Bottom of
the Sea" was released a few weeks ago on DVD and I've been renting it
from Netflix. There's an episode from Nov. 5, 1967 titled "Fatal Cargo"
that guess stars Woodrow Parfrey. It's a stinky episode, badly written
and directed, but what's interesting is that Parfrey must have done this
at Fox pretty close to when he was also doing PLANET, and the episode,
in which Parfrey plays this insane scientist, also features Janos
Prohaska as a super-strong, out of control albino gorilla. The suit
looks to be the same he wore in an episode of "Star Trek," except that
that one had a horn attached to the head, and isn't anymore convincing
than the gorilla suit he used in ESCAPE.

The next thing I'm planning on renting from Netflix is an early episode
of "The Invaders" that features Roddy McDowall.

A
little CONQUEST twofer the past couple of weekends. Roddy McDowall
was

The Bookworm in Batman which they (the American Life TV Network)
ran

about a year back (I'm seeing repeats of repeats now), and last
Saturday

Hari Rhodes showed up in Mission: Impossible as the leader of
a black

crime syndicate. Interestingly, even though it was filmed a
year before

CONQUEST, he looked older in this role.

Now that I
think about it, outside of MacDonald I've always seen him
play

a
bad guy. I'm sure that's not all he ever played, but then again
I

haven't had the chance to see him in all that much
either.

Yeah, I would imagine that a 4k scan was done of what had been restored
before and that further digital work was done -- if in fact anything
has been done. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that Fox knows enough
that there's still interest in this movie and a Blu-ray would probably
sell well.

The oft referenced scene where Mendez is praying before the bust of his Ancestor Mendez I. I always thought that was a subtly intense moment where the guard (while searching for Nova) came across Mendez kneeling down in front of the bust and being disturbed at the image. It was included in both the Marvel comic adaptation and paperback novelization by Michael Avallone, but- along with so many other things- cut from the film. Looking at the photo, it's pretty obvious that all the busts were based on Paul Richard's likeness.

Hi, folks,

I have an idea for a third Planet of the Apes book, once I finish my
encyclopedia, and wanted to run it past you all, to get an honest
appraisal of what you think of the idea. I was consider writing a
guide to POTA fanfic--plot synopsis, characters, timeline setting,
continuity notes, etc.--since that's not covered in either book. It
would cover anything that's been published in Ape Chronicles, Ape
Crazy, Sacred Scrolls, Simian Scrolls and Century City News, as well
as on Kassidy's site and elsewhere. What do you all think? Is that
something that might interest fans? Or would I just be wasting my
time, with limited return?

i also missed the poll
i cant wait until i get to do govoner breck and the rest of the cast for my escape set. ive strayed off doing my own mego typ apes that arent a part of any of the apes films. haha but some i think should have
question anyone else think about characters you would have created?.
something to think on or not

Whoops--to give credit where it's due, the idea was sparked by a conversation I had with Terry Hoknes. Sorry, Terry--didn't mean to not acknowledge that.

I think you'd be wasting your time, Rich.

A guide to POTA Fanfic wouldn't appeal to anyone outside of Ape fandom. (whereas there's always the chance your timeline book or encyclopedia might appeal to the more 'casual' fan - even a Trekker!)

Due to past traumatic experiences with poorly written examples - many of those INSIDE Apes Fandom despise Fanfic and won't read it.

It might make an interesting article for Chronicles or Scrolls but I can't see it selling as a book.

When I once did some research to find what readers wanted to see more or less of in Scrolls, Fanfic proved the least popular.

I can only speak for myself and I wouldn't buy such a book if I didn't know the author. It would be one thing if such a book contained some of the actual stories, but just a listing of them. I would pass.

I certainly enjoyed them. Certainly not the greatest comic and the
mileage varied from issue to issue, but at the same time they are
enjoyable. I even enjoyed the comic antics of Frito and Jojo, although
everyone seems to hate them. I only found out about them when rummaging
the cheapie bin in a comic store years ago. I must have picked up about
20 issues for 25 cents apiece. I've slowly found most of the others. Now
I'm only missing one regular issue, the annual, and the Ape Nation run.

So no, you're not alone.

While I would love to see that, I honestly think that outside the fanbase, it would likely have limited returns.
