Yeah, that's the one I was thinking about. Forgot to mention that I
was also talking about Ebay. Haven't seen them being sold for some
time, but then again, I'm not spending as much time on Ebay myself
these days, so maybe they are still being offered.

Thanks for the pic Tim.

Hi Neil, Just a quicky while food cooks, Most of the new ape pics
are quite small, The gorilla is only 10inch by 8 inch the main
reason for this is so I'm able to scan them.The Scrolls cover was
approx A4. Once scanning isn't a consideration then they can be any
size (I come from a fine art background so I 've been known to do
6ft by 3ft paintings quite often, just none on apes :) ) As for
length of time it takes to finish , well there's the rub because I
could paint on the same picture endlessly,certainly this is one of
my vices . The gorilla took about 8 hours of painting time .They're
not really painted in set stages (except the underpainting) Once
colour is introduced the whole image is pretty much worked on at the
same time,how ever between the underpainting and the rest I paint a
thin glaze of transparent green over the whole thing,in the case of
the gorilla this was why red had been used in the underpainting as a
complmentary colour to green this gives a richness to the painting
from the start. Some times I begin with a coloured ground such as
red with the underpainting done in burnt umber again with green
washed on the top, very much how some one like Rembrandt would start
a painting. Hope you find this of some interest
Best Graham.

Well, I hate to help kill off yet another short-lived Planet of the
Apes line but I have not bought any of the sideshow figures. At $20 a
piece I just can't justify spending that kind of money on figures I
would add to the already insane amount of Apes merchandise that sits
in my "playroom" that nobody is allowed to touch. If the comic stores
or another local retailer down here carried these it probably would
have been harder to resist, but thankfully the evil temptation has
been kept away. I would rather spend that money on ebay and get an
original item from the 70's.

I don't know if it will even be possible but I'm all for trying.

If you are interested in seeing this figure line continue please email
me with your name, address and email addy.
Also include the ONE figure you would most like to see.
Send them to :
ironman1188@...

I am trying to compile a list of people from different areas/forums
that Sideshow could be approached with.

Thanks!!

When they first came out at $40 a piece, it was way too much for me.
The prices have come down somewhat for some of these on Ebay, into the
$20 range, but I still haven't taken the plunge. I was just looking at
a Ebay auction earlier today which featured the first 5 figures for
$100 + shipping. I found myself starting doing US to CDN fund
conversions. I think if they were just a bit cheaper I may decide to
get some. Of course the one I like the most, the lawgiver statue, is
the most expensive of the lot. Why is that? OK, so it's a lot bigger,
but it does not require a fancy paint job or any clothing. It should
be cheaper!

Alright Greg, have you been taking lessons from these two ass-clowns
on how to build up suspense and then make us beg like children to see
the next comics? :) Issue 45 wasn't there this morning and for the
first time I've felt let down. Now my whole day will be off. Go ahead
blame Hunter.

I dunno about that. The descriptions like "pulse-pounding penultimate"
are enough to satisfy me. Those descriptions are verging on becoming
better than the comics themselves.

Keep them coming boys. Oh, yeah and keep the comics coming too!

Thanks Greg. I don't know why but I had to refresh the page 3 times
before issue 45 appeared at the top of the page. I hate AOL. ;)
Thanks again. I look foward to these as much as I do the new comics
from Neil and Michael. I appreciate you guys helping to contribute to
the 1.19 GB, 2500+ files of Planet of the Apes stuff that dominates
my computer. Seriously, Thank you.

They finally released the full Season 1 of the "Muppet Show" on DVD.
It includes the Paul Willams episode and if you watch it with the pop
up facts option, they do acknowledge that he played "Virgil" in
Battle for the Planet of the Apes. It also includes the pilot that was
created to sell the show. In it they do a mock movie review for
"Return to Beneath the Planet of the Pigs." In this sketch an
astronaut is kept in a pen with other humans till it is discovered he
can speak. The pigs then send him to a doctor to "have his head opened
so they can look inside." Its a pretty funny satire of the Apes saga.

I was going to say that Americans, although much smarter than
gorillas, are unable to make any kind of sense out of cricket.

But I won't.

Happy Birthday, Michael. Many happy returns.

 

Unless you're a little depressed about turning 40, in which case you should suck it up and stop feeling sorry for yourself. It's not the end of the world, you know. (That's coming next week in issue 46.)

Crap is right! First I get to hear that that Whitty kid is only turning
forty and now John is telling him, 40 is old!

Face it boys, around here you're youngsters among the old farts.

Ha, I said 'fart'!

Oh and Happy BD Michael. Hope your cricket team wins..whatever they're
supposed to win. Neil, don't listen to them asking for Apes in cricket
suits. That would obviously just be silly. What the world needs is apes
playing the only 'real' sport there is ... Hockey. Think of it..."Apes
on Ice". Gotta admit its got a ring to it.

I was reading the latest issue of "Rue Morgue" (horror magazine) the
other day and while reading a few articles on the many Bigfoot/Sasquatch
movies over the years, I found not 1, not 2, but 3 "Ape" connections,
one I knew and two I did not.

1) Most of you have probably seen that 'famous' (infamous) footage of a
bigfoot shot way back in the late sixties. It's pretty much featured in
any Bigfoot documentary. Any how its called the Patterson-Gimlin film (a
shot of which can be seen
here: http://www.museumofhoaxes.com/photos/bigfoot1.html" ) and of the
many stories surrounding it's creation is one that purports that John
Chambers himself made the custom. Hell if anyone is gonna make an
Apelike custom, who you gonna call? This story that Chambers created the
outfit is by Richard "Mr. Jaws" Kiel who claims he was the one wearing
the suit.

2) Since I try to get every bit of writing from Rod Serling that I can
get my hands on, I knew that his name was attached to a book called
"Monsters! Mystreries or Myths?". What I did not know was this was
based on a TV film special/documentary hosted by Rod Himself. It was
aired in 1974 on CBS and was a smash (40 million viewers). Cool!

3) There is currently a bigfoot-like movie in production called
"Abominable" being put together by Lalo Schifrin's (Return to POTA
composer) son Ryan.

Just more useless information for ape hungry minds.

Dario

My Lawgiver Statue came in the other day, and it's
quite excellent. Detail-wise, it's on-par with the
Medicom, but it's much MUCH bigger, and made out of a
rock-like substance that gives it the 'feel' of being
an actual carved statue.

Of course, it WAS over $100.00, but I ain't
complaining. They sent along a free Cornelius figure,
just for ordering it (I ordered it at ComicCon),
though it would've been nice to get a Sideshow figure
I didn't already have -- I bought a Cornelius, a Zira,
a Zaius, a Taylor (astronaut), and a Gorilla Soldier
figure there and shipped 'em home. Now I've got TWO
Cornelius figures.

I think I'll call one of 'em "Roddy" and the other one
"David". Hah!

I don't know how many 'original POTA items from the
70s' are available at reasonable prices, but I don't
recall ever seeing a Lawgiver Statue made by the dudes
who made the POTA action figures. Remember their
astronaut figure, with the blue suit and the USAF
pilot's helmet? What were they thinking? He didn't
look ANYTHING like the ANSA astronauts we knew from
the movies & TV show. At least these Medicoms and
Sideshow figures have the costuming details down
pretty good.

nobody is allowed to touch. If the comic stores or
another local retailer down here carried these it
probably would have been harder to resist, but
thankfully the evil temptation has been kept away. I
would rather spend that money on ebay and get an
original item from the 70's.

*** Sorry to nitpick, but Lalo did the POTA TV show's theme music, not
the "Return to POTA" (cartoon) theme. Kudos to the guy who did, though:
I've always thought that the cartoon had pretty good music in it, very
POTA-like and a higher production value than the meager animation
itself.

We should petition FILMSCORE MONTHLY to get their mitts on the POTA TV
ashow music AND the cartoon's music, and have 'em release a CD of it,
to accompany their BENEATH and CONQUEST/BATTLE CDs.

They released the complete Jerry Goldsmith score to the film "LOGAN'S
RUN" as well as a CD of music from the "LOGAN'S RUN" TV show. How much
of a demand was there for THAT??? I'm glad they did it, and bought a
copy of it happily... but there've GOT to be more POTA fans out there
than "LOGAN'S RUN" fans (though I dig both of 'em), so you'd think that
a POTA TV-&-cartoon CD would do fairly well for them.

Oops! You're right of course and I also like the score to the Return

Hi Neil, I've been looking at the comics since you put them in the
files,very nice really like the Within strips, are these reproduced
from your pencils? The reason I ask is I don't know whether you've
seen art by a guy named David Hitchcock, he does black and white work
which is partially inked but toned with pencil sounds like it
shouldn't work but it does.He's just finished a self published comic
called Springheeled Jack.Certainly an interesting look.
Best Graham.

I did not say I think it was true, but it is one (of many) stories
about who were really behind it. Personally, I doubt it.

Chambers was well on his way in his career and probably would not have
the time or inclination to be involved with something as silly.
Besides, the creature is nothing like any of his Apes work.

But after looking more into this, I came up with even more sites that
not only acknowledge he was involved but refute his denial and provide
more evidence that he was involved. Many web sites claim that John
Landis said that Chambers told him of his involvement.

http://www.bigfootencounters.com/creatures/bigfoot.htm
The Chambers/Kiel/Landis stuff is all near the end. If you
google "Chamber bigfoot Landis" you'll get plenty more.

We humans have a tendency to seek out nice clean answers to these
types of questions. It's much more interesting to insinuate that
someone like Chambers was involved with this than some no-name Joe
Shmo. So, once the assertion is made, it becomes hard if not
impossible to completely bury the insimuation. This was never more
true than today with the internet which is such a bottomless pit for
these rumours. Just having him say he did not do it is not enough.
It's foolish to believe anything we read these days. More convincing
(but not 100% foolproof and still susceptible to people outright
lying) would be film/video recorded conversations.

So did he do it? I don't think anybody can say for sure.

Last I heard, it was supposed to be sometime before the end of the
year.
You do know that this a Canadian production, eh?

Where exactly in the great white north are you located, if you don't
mind my asking? (Me: Former Montrealer now in Ottawa).

Does anyone know if Metal Rose has a website? I've tried finding one a
few times, but there doesn't seem to be one. Ty's webpage still makes

-- Yes they are. The original idea behind the Within strip was for it
to be something to experiment with and I was supposed to keep the art
simple and 'cartoony' but somewhere along the way the dreaded 'detail
bug' got hold of me again.

I must admit I do like the way the pencils look (plus I get them done
quicker without having to apply the ink of course) just as I really
loved those couple of Terror stories they reproduced from Mike Ploog's
pencils back in the Marvel / Curtis magazines.
