attention to detail, Neil. Even though the story doesn't advance
much on these pages, it's worth it to take the time to see the
horrors the SF humans have visited upon the apes who have crossed
their paths. This is the sort of context I was looking for earlier
in the story, to better understand who these people are.

remiss if I didn't note that their fickle side is showing

necessary for Pete, and now they've gone ahead and thrown him in a
cell! Okay, so maybe Mustapha doesn't have a proper waiting room,
but still! Way to welcome the guy into the tribe! :)

-- Simple answer to this one Greg. He may have won over the rebels
who were with him and witnessed the 'incident' but he is still
Mustapha's prisoner and as such is going to be held as a prisoner
until the big man himself says whether he can be trusted or not.

Yeah, that's what I thought about that Sardi's Kim Hunter

of Zira to a tray and said it was a stain that appeared

there like the Virgin Mary.  Maybe they think that

POTA fans are more gullible than Star Wars fans.

Because of the recent spate of what must be fake posters I will, in
the next week or so, be 'culling' the group numbers again in order to
hopefully get rid of any of these potential trouble makers.

So if you get accidently removed from the group I apologise in
advance, if it does happen to you please let me know so I can fix
things up!

Thanks,

I had an idea for the group comic project.
How about we have the same start as Planet up until when Taylor
decides which way to travel and have him choose the opposite
direction.
That way they don't meet the Ape society seen in the film but could
end up meeting a totally different group of apes.

Hi John and thanks for the comment!

Let me just clarify something for you.

I am writing GOING HOME because I have to.

WHO SHOULD BE WRITING POTA COMICS?

(A) Fan Produced Comics

My first choice as writer would have been the wonderful Dave Ballard. He is
a master - and much like DARTH VADER he will always be talented even when
he's tickling for the other team! ;) Not only that but he is quick as hell
and dedicated. He's a writer (or I should say he claims to be - and takes
himself seriously as a writer). I don't fancy myself as a writer - I don't
take myself seriously as a writer. I know Ty Templeton does, because he
labelled me as such on the letters page of Revolution Issue #1 (thanks Ty!
xoxoxox) :)

My second choice would be any bastard who actually does it and sends it to
me! :)

(B) Professional Comics

As for the REVOLUTION comics - really, who could ask for a bigger name than
Ty? Who would have expected it? I really did NOT believe it could happen.
He and Jo are doing a magnificent job. They are producing the BEST POTA
comics I have ever paid for. Would be nice to see Ploog get involved and
ideal to see Neil get a gig, but I really could not ask for more.

Ty's dediation and the fact that he seeks our feedback and takes the time to
say "Hi"...we really are very lucky.

WHO NEARLY WROTE POTA COMICS?

As "totellawhopper" knows, Neil and I waited patiently for Chris Lawless to
come up with something as a script. Nothing was forthcoming and all we had
was Dave's MONUMENT for which Neil had drawn the first 6 pages at the time
Dave became unavailable. Dave was unhappy with MONUMENT and said in a
public letter we could use it, but it required a re-write. I did NOT want
to touch it. MONUMENT is a great TV Show episode, but that's not really
what I wanted to do. I love the TV Show and I have fond memories of it but
I can barely stay awake through an episode now - so why would I want to try
to sell an ongoing episode to a publisher?

Chris Lawless eventually came up with a few pages of something (set in the
PLANET enviromnent) but one thing was clear - we could not rely on Chris to
meet a deadline.

AND we wanted to do a TV Show comic (but like I said, not just another
episode).

We had a team of people to help write a TV Comic. Rich Handley (I think he
wrote a SW comic? - bichandjon seems to know more about this than I do!),
Chris Lawless, John Roache, Dave Ballard, myself and Neil.

Neil, would it be fair to say that overall this group spent most of their
time explaining to us why they could NOT produce anything? I think they
expended more energy on excuses than they ever could have on actually DOING
something!

The plan was to map out the events of the TV Show for the next 30 years or
so (eg at the end of our virtual scenario's 4th season the astros find
another ship with more astros who have been around for a lot longer...etc).

But the result was that Neil and I were left to either do it ourselves, or
to crap on about why we couldn't do it. We chose to do it. Hmm... that
sounds dirty!

WHO IS WRITING POTA COMICS?

I began writing the WITHIN comic because it didn't matter - this was a
"throw away" to keep Neil busy and to generate discussion. It is
embarrassingly formulaic and stinks of "throw in some mutants", but you know
it does seem to work. It ain't Tolstoy, but it was fun and if I saw it on
the shelf at a comic store I'd buy it and I'd want more.

Anyone who wants to insult me and wonders why they might be pissing Neil off
too - that's probably because we do this as a team. Neil has rejected
scripts (both draft and finalised) I have sent him because they had
problems. I have also suggested layout for a page (p 15 I think?) and Neil
completed the comic with PP 20 - 22.

We are constantly looking for more writers so cough up ya bastards! :)

Wow! Somebody pinch me! Not only have we got the new comic and the Ultimate
Apes dvd, with the animated series, but Mike Whitty is writing.It's just too
much to take in, particularly as I know he'll totally handle the third party
narrative trap that often snags lesser writers.John, Scrolls.

Anyone who thinks I am having a go at Dave has got to be insane or they have
a hidden agenda (maybe trying to take off the heat after publishing
fraudulant sketches???:).

It is the job of the EDITOR to pick things like this and guess who the
editor is dumbass? ;) Yup - Mike Whitty!

Anyway well be starting to do daily BTB postings after P 22 of GOING HOME
(the entire 44 pages, 7 of which are not available on-line) and you can
judge for yourselves.

Oh I didn't read it properly. I put mine in the ORDER I 'experienced'
POTA as a kid, is that okay?

The very best VHS covers were the ones Ken Taylor produced for the Australian release of the TV Show.

 

Greg Plonowski used these covers to make printable DVD covers for the DVDs.  I think these are available on Hunter Goatley's site (could anyone here NOT know Hunter's site?).

Well, at least now you've got the email address of at least one person at Fox ( steve.feldstein@... ) to bug to death about the director's cut of CONQUEST and whatever the hell else.  Personally I'd like to just see an extensive still gallery.

Gee Rory I almost thought you were going to have something interesting
to say here but obviously not. So are you going to explain to everyone
why you think "Urko sucks!" then?

As far as I am concerned these sort of replies are getting tedious and
as it is now my call alone you need to know that you won't be allowed
to keep doing it.

Neil

Oh yeah?!!!!  Well, then I won't bother explaining then!  :P

But really, isn't rather self-evident?  I'm hard pressed to find anything in the TV show that don't suck!

I know Rory is well versed in the history of VHS (and Beta?) releases of POTA.

I nearly burst when I saw an ad in a US magazine for the first release of PLANET and.....I think ALL the sequels (Rory?).  Anyway, I begged my father to get them.

He sent a personal cheque to the USA and we waited.

After two months we phoned the USA and got some bad news:

The cheque was not in US Dollars and the VHS (or Beta actually) tape would not play in Australia!

So it took me until 1994 to own the 5 movies on tape.


This has got to be the saddest story I've ever heard.  You poor Aussie bastard.

Well, that's what you get for living on the wrong side of the planet!

The scan is small on the site, but you might be able to make out that the Lawgiver from BENEATH is in the middle bottom!

I seriously do hope it was because what did it get – 100 signatories?



Hell yes I share your cynicism... I just replied to this "news" because it was posted to the friends_and_fugitives group... Cynical isn't the word for it... It had NOTHING to do with the online petition and EVERYTHING to do with the fact that they were going to release it anyway and that the "petition" just happened to be started at the time of the release of it... The "petition" coincided with the release of an item that was surely being manufactured before anyone even began requesting it "online"...
