Thanks Tim. I like getting a couple of pages of the story at a time
rather than the one panel strip version. It is still way too short!
Just as you are really captured by the story... you can't scroll any
futher. :) I can't wait till more of us have seen it and can talk
freely without fear of ruining the story for someone. From what
Michael has told me, I think everyone is in for quite a shock at where
this story is going to take us. I nominate Cougar. His oppinions
always spark some kind of reaction and he's always good about posting.

.html.html I too just read the second installment of this... I will say the artwork is great, and I am looking fwd. to seeing where the story goes... I am with the others here that don't want to say too much because it may ruin it for those who haven't read it yet, but needless to say, it is great to see the story continuing!<.html<.html

-- Yes the story is good isn't it. A lot of people seem to think
comics are all about the art but they really aren't. The best art in
the world will never save a comic with a badly written story, in some
ways it is easier to carry bad art with an outstanding story.

I am privileged to be working with Michael, when we lost our previous
story writer and he said not to worry he could do it, I must admit I
was sceptical. Well I now know there was nothing to worry about as
this story and Within have shown.

We have a totally different method of working together than the one I
had with Dave Ballard, I suppose that it helps that we can bash ideas
around via a phone call or two and luckily neither of us has an
inflated ego or anything else that gets in the way!

And if I can just say, if you think you have had a few surprises so
far there are much bigger ones lurking around the corner!

i would like to know from Neil......your likenesses of
Naughton and Harper are excellent. Do you have a
catalog of images to use or watch the TV DVD's
constantly? or do you just have a natural gift for
being able to imagine their faces from any direction!?

Tim




__________________________________

The wierd thing about Brent's face is....altho it
doesn't look like Fransicus , I can't pinpoint exactly
what it is that's wrong? Can you Neil? Is it the lack
of squareness of the jaw?....the brown hair vs. blond?


And actually I think Zira and Cornelius are very good
likenesses....Will post Zaius, nova and Caesar comps
today....loooking for good pics of cleanshaven
astronaut taylor but i can't find any....I have an
8x10 of the Icarus crew but my scanner's broke!

.html.html I think a better job could have been done on the Lawgiver.  I don't understand why absolute accuracy isn't stressed.  My guess is that there isn't a "perfectionist-in-charge" that can order these things.

Anyway, I'm glad there is this Lawgiver statue to own.  It's pretty nice.  It's cool to darken the room and light some candles around it. And, it's actually closer to the large prop than the one seen in Zaius' office in the first film.  You can see that "Little Lawgiver" closer up in the first episode of the TV series and it's really primitive.  I just wish the Sideshow version, like everything else they've done, was just a little bit more accurate.

-- Rory<.html<.html

The packaging idea is, IMHO, going to hurt sales.

See my last post on Army of Darkness questions thread where I address this issue in depth.

It looks to me that they used the same head for Caesar as the one used
from Cornelius. I emailed Sideshow when they frist announced him with
pictures of Caesar to show that there is a difference in their make up
but they never did respond to me. I think it is poor customer
relations on their part that you pay in the area of $40.00 up for
their figures and they wount respond to your eamils.

Do you think the infamous exclusive Tuska sketch from SS#10

Where's the Don't Know & Don't Care category?

 

I can't see that it matters.

We have the supposed Real McCoy,

and Neil's excellent forgery.  What

does it matter?  I don't know what the

fuss is about.  I have a fake caricature

of Kim that supposedly hung in  Sardi's.

I suspected it was a forgery from the

start.  Kim later confirmed my suspicions.

There is one, but it looks nothing like it.

I thought about sicking eBay on the seller.

But how many can say they have a Kim

Hunter Sardi's caricature forgery, eh?

Subject: [PotaDG] Welcoming Time Again!

To all our recently joined new members - welcome!

Feel free to jump in and contribute if a subject takes your fancy, or please start one up yourself!

 

MAKE SURE YOU GO TO THE HOMEPAGE AND READ THE NEW Planet of the Apes  TV Show COMIC BOOK - G oing Home!!!

Go to the  Homepage, scroll down to around the middle of the page and click on the link underneath the  logo....this will take you to the pdf file of the first 3 pages.

 

Another  new ongoing comic strip called Within T he Planet of the Apes can be found in the files section of the group or you can just click on the handy links on the Homepage to view the latest chapters!

 

And new for your viewing pleasure - Uncle Manny's Musings! A light hearted look at the world from one of our wisest (Ha!) apes, check out the Home Page for a link to his latest piece of wisdom! ;-)

 

 

Don't forget we also have 3 other groups 'attached' to the main one.

 

 

First up there is the DG Archives group:

http://movies.groups.yahoo.com/group/PotaDiscussionGrouparchives/

This group was created to store old posts from the group which have been deleted from the main site. We have to do this periodically to free up space as Yahoo does not allot much space to the groups anymore.

As this group is so active we tend to fill up very quickly and instead of losing old posts forever we like to keep a copy of them all. They can be found in the Files section listed by month and year.

 

 

There is also the DG Fan Fiction group where members can place, in th e group's Files section, their Fan Fiction stories, poems etc. to be enjoyed by all:

http://movies.groups.yahoo.com/group/PotaDiscussionGroupfanfiction/

 

 

Finally there's the DG Photos group:

http://movies.groups.yahoo.com/group/PotaDiscussionGroupphotos/

Where photos  and files are occasionally moved to save space on the main DG group

 

 

All the sites can be easily accessed via the links on each one's Homepage.

 

Don't forget to check out the DG 's vast Photos section and all that great stuff in the Files section!

And w hilst you're here why not participate in a Poll or check out all those

wonderful links and generally have a fun filled family experience!

Neil, the quality of the artwork, as usual, is excellent. Although
there's nothing in the artwork that's specifically reminiscent of the
illustrations in the Brown/Watson annuals, the subject matter makes me
want to find similarities. I got a nice strong feeling of nostalgia
reading this installment.

It was a bit of a shock opening the first page to see a street that
I've driven on. I'd like to hear how others feel about seeing familiar
landmarks in Planet of the Apes stories. Growing up in the southern
U.S., I never felt any connection with the settings of the Apes movies
when I saw them as a child. Until I moved to California in the early
'90s, New York and the west coast were near-mythical places that, for
me, only really existed in movies.

And now, Michael, the bad news; there are a couple of minor things that
bother me in the story thus far:

First, it always seemed contrived when the fugitives entered a village
and Galen discovered that he knew the local Prefect, or a situation
developed that just happened to be covered in ANSA's standard course in
Astronaut Training. It's central to the story, I know, but I feel that
same way about Virdon's having lived in San Francisco. The point is
made in the story that he only ever previously mentioned growing up on
a farm, so you're obviously trying to give Virdon a history with more
substance, but I think it odd that he wouldn't mention San Francisco
until he was well into the city. I know that I, in that same situation,
would say something as soon as I recognized the city, and then I'd
insist on trying to find my old apartment and anything else that would
provide a tangible connection to my past.

Second, San Francisco's seismic disturbances are well-known, but
they're really not that frequent. It's just another thing that seems
contrived, like the way nearly every movie that's set in New Orleans
has to include a Mardi Gras parade and a jazz band in a funeral
procession.

It has occurred to me that these two flawed plot elements are meant to
evoke the spirit of the television series. If so, you've done a
brilliant job, Michael. Although we're still in the intro and the guest
star hasn't appeared in his ill-fitting makeup yet, this is a good
solid start. I'm excited by the promise of a story that takes us in a
new direction, and I look forward to learning which direction you've
chosen for us.

And now I nominate shadow571957 to receive Part 2 next, because we need
to hear from more lurkers.
