Well, if anyone wants to see these -  they are done.

 

You will have to do some begging though - SERIOUSLY.

 

And you won't be seeing any more WITHIN unless we get some interest.

 

Over to you.

it out, but they're in no hurry to release it on CD, the swine!

That Kong cartoon sounds a little bit like the Godzilla cartoon that
they put out in the late 1970s (I think it was), where he was friends
with a group of youths, or something. As I recall, there was a little
Godzilla "side-kick" that snorted out smoke rings from his nostrils,
who was part of the gang. Kooky. Around the same time that cartoon
was airing, there was a Scooby Doo knock-off called "CLUE CLUB" which
had a group of young sleuths accompanied NOT by a Great Dane, but by
a Bloodhound and a Basset Hound, named "Woofer" and "Whimper",
respectively. We had a basset named "Maggie" back then, so it was
always fun to watch that show -- and trying to get the dog to watch
it, too. She was always more interested in snoozing on Saturday
mornings, though... Those were the days.

O.K. I have no shame. I am begging and pleading with the both of you.
Please don't stop your work on the original Planet of the Apes comics
you've now got me hooked on. It is part of what makes this group
special and different(not to mention better) than the other APES
groups out there. If you don't post them here at least give us a way
to get them. That is, if you do continue to work on them for the love
of it. I know its a lot of work and if your not having fun anymore its
going to start to show. Your stories and artwork show that you are
truly fans and care about these characters and that makes all the
difference in the world. Somebody hired to write POTA one day and
Spiderman the next is not going to have the insight someone who grew
up with these stories would. I hope all the other fans who have
enjoyed your work will take the time to let you know. And, I stand by
my statement that if you do stop I will fly "down under" and kill you
both! Just kidding.... or am I? The Evil Dr. Zaius Davis

Hi Guys --

Just to let you (and especially the nice Mr Whitty) know that I
haven't forgotten you -- here's a post to say: "HELLO!"

Particularly because today was a fun day for me. I recently bought a
16mm film projector and my ambition was to buy a scope (i.e.
widescreen) film print of the original POTA. And it happened.

For the best part of £200.00 I now have my own print of PLANET OF
THE APES. To run on a projector -- on film.

It's a million times better than DVDs - (the widescreen picture on
my wall is HUGE!!!!)I just wish I could invite every last one of you
to come round to my flat for beers and a screening!!!

(And I mean that!) :)

Love,

Mark.

Well, I hate to hear it but everything you say is true. Its a lot
harder to deal with Planet of the Apes than Star Wars, Star Trek etc.
Most of the POTA groups have very little activity. It is few and far
between that there is something really exciting in the POTA universe
at this point. Most of the greatest POTA happenings have been fan
made lately. The comics, the new card series, the Return cartoon
DVDs, FanFic, the TV Herald, etc. all came from fans having to create
what wasn't there and I am so thankful to all the talented people who
have shared with me over the last few years. I have been really
impressed with all the comics you two have been involved with and
wish you were able to get more out of all the work you have put in. I
have seen some of Neil's non-ape horror art and it is just as
impressive. I just wish the POTA franchise was at a point where you
guys could do more with it. I am not a fan of chat rooms and until a
few years ago I didn't enjoy the DG's because they had the same feel
to me. Since then I have met some really great and talented fans and
have truly enjoyed the PotaDG because it was different than the same
finger pointing, overanalyzing Star Trek (sorry Rory) like debates
that most deal with. I hope you guys can make this all work out. Its
too costly to fly down from New Orleans so my Wife says killing you
both is out of the question.... for now. hehehe
---The good Dr. Zaius Davis

Man, I envy you. That would be so cool to be able to show Planet of
the Apes and have it take up an entire wall in my house... and I'd
love a beer!

I just saw the Escape from the Planet of the Apes cards on Hunter's
site. They are awesome! I can't wait for the High Res. versions to be
posted for download. Thanks to Hunter's site I am finally using all
the space I paid for with my new hard drive.

Yes, a set of Escape cards created to mimic the original Topps Planet cards is now available for viewing on Hunter's site:

 

http://www.goatley.com/pota/

 

As with the Beneath set I have to credit Neil Foster with the incredible art he created for the card backs and the wrapper. He did a fantastic job matching the original style, which really helps the illusion.

 

I'd also like to thank Kassidy Rae for her editorial assistance on the card back copy.

 

Also pitching in this go-round is Dave Ballard, who helped with some of the captions.

 

I'm putting together the hi-res files now, they'll be available on Hunter's site either later tonight or early tomorrow.

Yes Helen I'm still here. Actually while I've been receiving a steady stream of DG emails and digests, for some reason, Yahoo is blocking my 'reply' attempts. (I you are reading this it's either working again or I've opted to post via the site interface).

Michael/Neil: Of course we all enjoy the comics and do hope you decide to continue. Someone already pointed out that Neil's apes are actually getting more realistic lately and that's quite a feat since they were top notch to begin with. (Whatever happened to that change in drawing style? I remember worrying that he'd loose the 'realistic' look. No worries now.)

Greg/Neil/Kass/Dave/Hunter: Awesome Escape cards!

Scrolls Review:

Once again the Scrolls guys did a superb job! I was especially looking forward to the Ploog interview which was great but also provided my one bit of cirticism. The comic panels that adorn the article ar not labeled and they also feature the frankenstein monster for another Marvel comic from the mid 70's. Now it is completely ironic that although I've always associated Ploog with the Marvel POTA mag ever since I bought that first issue right of the shelves, I never knew he was also the artist of first issues of the Frankenstein line, and I also had some them at the time. But since the images were not labeled/titled I had to look it up to confirm (no biggie these days, just a google away).

Nobody draws a hooded ape like Ploog. Neil, please consider hooded apes sometine in the future! I'll even let you draw 'jarred brains' if that's what it takes!  ;)

I know it may not have been as interesting to the majority of the other POTA fans, but the reviews and synopsis' of the two vintage 'Ape' themed SF novels were much appreciated. As a longtime SF reader who seeks out interesting old material, these are definite 'must reads' for me. The novels were briefly mentioned long ago by someone, but these in depth reviews really convinced me that I have to search them out.

Also like to thank Canadian/US distribution postmistress: Kass. (Hang in there with your Dad Kass, I know EXACTLY what you're going through).

.html I am anxious about the next installment of Within. I assume Dr Garvon is going to pass on and is ape society going to be able to keep the book a secret. Elaine<.html

I do find it easy enough to do different styles but I just seemed to
slip back into my normal style for some reason. Oh well, at least our
new POTA Muppets opus will be in a totally different style to anything
we've done before! ;-)

Who IS the 2005 Heston?

 

What WAS Heston?  Was the the highest paid star at the time - or the most prolific - or what?

Michael

I don't think it's who is highest paid.

It's who has the stature to play historic roles convincingly.

Tom Cruise, Jim Carry & Mike Myers make bucks, but

you wouldn't tap them to play Moses.  Mel Gibson makes

a great William Wallace, but he's no Moses.  Russell Crow

I could see as Ben Hur, maybe.  But Moses?  No.  Sean

Connery might pull it off, but he's too Scottish.  Same with

Patrick Stewart, and Ian McKellen.  Too British. Old Clint

is too old.  Maybe ten years ago, but now?  They're all a tad

too old, a tad too Brit, or a tad too short, or whatever.  No,

that leave just one guy.  He's got an accent, but I've heard him

loose it before.  Who?  You may well ask.  And some will

disagree.  But my vote goes to Liam Neeson.  Now I could

see Ian McKellen as Zaius, though I would have preferred

Ralph Richardson or John Gielgud.  Too bad their both dead.

I could see Helena Bonham-Carter as Zira, but I would

prefer Felicity Kendal.  She has the voice and the eyes.

Any good casting ideas for Cornelius?

I'm not Rory, but...

I'd say Nicolas Cage. He is about the age that Chuck was when he
did Planet. He isn't Moses... but he was an angel. A bit less
chiseled and threatening then Heston, he has the presence that
Heston does. Cage ranked #40 in Empire (UK) magazine's "The Top 100
Movie Stars of All Time" list. [October 1997] Heston ranked #28 on
that list.

And he is such a hunk!

What about POTA starring Michael Biehn (Aliens, The Abyss,
Termintator)? He'd certainly be more affordable for the role than
Nicolas Cage and most of his work is action-oriented.

Of the people who were bandied around to star in "Planet" 10 years ago I
thought the best choices were Harrison Ford (now maybe he's too old to play
a convincing astronaut, but then, and with John Glenn back in space, it
might have worked); and George Clooney. - - - Jeff

Who among today's actors would be comparable enough to Heston to play
Moses? Well, my vote would go to Morgan Freeman. He's got the stage
presence and the talent to do it. Of course, having a black man play
Moses is no more historically inaccurate than having WASPY Heston play
someone who was supposed to be able to pass for Egyptian. And he does
have experience playing God.... As for him playing an astronaut in
POTA, he also is a little too old.

For POTA, I like Cage, even Beihn, but what about Bruce Willis, he's
plenty prolific right now? or Vin Diesel--talk about hunk-appeal--and
he's got this totally unflappable thing down pat. Or how about Johnny
Depp? Viggo Mortensen?

But, there could be worse choices than Marky Mark... How about Keanu
Reeves???

Hello all!
After a hellacious week of working looooong days then
coming home....watching a couple episodes of "forensic
files" on Court TV then crashing....I have caught up
with Ape talk. Not sure if all these topics were on DG
or the other Pota group but anyway.....

Michael and Neil....I can't begin to beg enough for
you two to continue with the comic projects. I feel I
have to beg for 250 people...what can I do short of
flying down under and begging in person? I don't
understand why people don't mention their gratitude
but know that I am one of your fans and would sorely
miss the strips. Maybe save them all up and make a
comic book and charge money for them....I'd buy it.

Kass....I hope your dad is doing better.!

I LOVE the Escape cards! I'll have to print them out
sometime soon on good paper! THANK YOU!

I have no opinion on the new yahoo look because I
always read all messages through email......

Ewan McGregor would make a fine new "Taylor"or
Cornelius. And I have to disagree with Nicholas
Cage....he just creeps me out......BUT how about Chris
Walken as Zaius?????

That's all for now!

Tim

-- That is probably the sort of 'star' it would need. As for other
parts I could see David Ogden Stiers as Zaius, Iain Glen as Cornelius
but I have no idea who could do the Zira part. For the astronaut why
not go totally radical and have a female play the part, someone like
Uma Thurman.

It was my threat about putting my boot all up in ya ass wasn't it? I

reading this chapter? ...Yes? Never mind then. Forget I mentioned the
resemblance.

uploaded the proper thing!! Oh, great, that "sick little freak

I can see it now...Harrison Ford in "HAN SOLO ON THE PLANET OF THE
APES". What a turnaround-on-the-turnaround. Chewbacca would be the
only ape who couldn't speak.

That's one thing the studios need to reconsider. This idea if they're
doing a big movie they need a star to make their money back. The big stars
now get $ 25 million a movie + profits. Tom Cruise is getting a share of the
theatrical, video and toys for "War of the Worlds" (I've heard it's going to
be a trilogy; they estimate Cruise is worth $ 300 million and the WOTW films
will double that). Add Spielberg's gluttony and the studio will get the
crumbs.
Does an event picture like POTA need a star? Marky Mark got $ 10 million
for it (and admitted he cashed a profit check for it) but the "star" was
POTA. That's why it had the huge opening. - - - Jeff
