I think that Paul Gulacy once almost got into legal trouble for
making certain characters in MASTER OF KUNG FU look like certain well-
known actors (Bruce Lee, Connery, Brando, etc). He just wanted
to "cast" those actors in the "movies" that he was drawing -- his
comics back then always had a very cinematic feel to 'em.

At last we have a script for the final TV episode we needed for the archive on Hunter's site. Thanks to Mark Rogers we not only have the Revised Final script for "The Deception" we also have the Outline written for the episode.

 

Even though it appears our script archive is now complete, with scripts for all five films and all 14 TV episodes as well as early versions of film scripts, unfilmed sequels and unproduced TV episodes, we still have more scripts to be added in the coming weeks. A first draft script of The Legacy is ready to be scanned, and a later version of Escape From Tomorrow than the one currently available is also waiting to be scanned.

 

Also available on Hunter's site today is issue 91 of the Marvel UK series. I believe that fans of the brains in the jars will particularly enjoy this week's installment. Letter column fans will also rejoice at the return of their favorite feature.

I posted a while back that I managed to scan Apesfan #2, but that the

I am a bit hesitant and never got around to asking Hunter if he was
willing to host the files. It's not so much the space that it will eat
of his drive (I assume its an enterprise grade server with lots of
diskspace, but if a lot of people start downloading it, he might end
up having to pay for the used bandwidth).

I could burn a few CDs and send them to some people. Neil as you just

He certainly did and the Phantom issue was great although like
most Charltons badly printed. I think the one you remember Neil is
issue 70 from '76 which is a parody of the Maltese Falcon and
Casablanca.
There's a great tribute site for Newton WWW.donnewton.com
It breaks down his career by company and features this work quite a
lot on the Charlton page. ( it also shows off his great cover
paintings including a comparison between an original painting and
Charltons printed version...not pretty ) The sites certainly worth a

Actually, four years' worth of weekly Star Trek comic strips were
also published around that time, from 1969 to '73, but what you say
about Gold Key was also true of the strips, which were WILDLY
inaccurate artwise and even more ridiculous from a writing
standpoint. One of the earlier stories actually ended with Kirk
teaching a bunch of apes to play soccer! And most of the stories had
Spock saying things like "Great Galaxies!" and "Leaping Novas!" and
"Great Golly!"

Also published in 1975 were a series of Star Trek comic books from
Power Records, which were just plain ridiculous. Uhura was a white
woman, Sulu was black and M'ress (from the animateds) was a human
with blue skin.

And let's not forget Marvel's first Star Trek series, only a few
years later, which featured the Star Trek crew meeting space-faring
gnomes and Count Dracula, and which featured that infamous cover of a
bloodthirsty Spock holding a weapon, with the slogan "Spock...the Barbarian!"

So yeah...Star Trek has definitely had its share of Adventure
Comics-like crap. :)

wrote Values). Dave pretty much wanted the cover to feature Alan
'inside' the time machine of the story (and to hint at a religious type
of pose) and specifically didn't want any apes on the cover. I can't
remember the exact reason why now after all this time, it may have been
for copyright reasons or something but I was told at the time that they
had another cover that did feature apes, painted by a different artist,
ready to go but it was rejected and I was asked to do the art for the
whole thing.

This cover has also been said by some people to have something in common
with the time machine from Quantum Leap but I wouldn't know about that
not being a keen observer of that show. I do remember reading somewhere
Dave Ballard hinting that the machine in Values was slightly inspired by
QL, not sure how true that would be though.

Well, it appears to be an error on my part. For last issue, this issue
and next issue I apparently built the PDFs from the higher-resolution
TIFFs rather than the lower-resolution jpegs. I'll get those fixed and
posted to Hunter as soon as I can.

Thanks for letting me know. The files for next week were going to be
huge what with the added pages for the extra feature that starts next
week.

I have one of those sets. Rittenhouse is the name of the company. The
set sold out from them (as did their Heston set). At least, if you try
to buy it from their site it tells you the sets are unavailable to buy
direct from them

Here's a link to the Rittenhouse site:

I don't think that looks any better than Sideshow's.

Yes, "Buy It Now" still appears next to each set, but if you actually
click on that, you get a message that says "No longer available
direct. Please contact your local dealer." So you can't buy sets
anymore from Rittenhouse, but dealers may still have them available.

The figure on ebay looks like a Cornelius I made early on. As the years went by the figures became much more accurate. I have a custom Lucius figure that will knock your gorilla boots off. 

 

Neil--send me your address one more time. I have your box finished and I'll send it to you.

Hell, we could do a POTA encyclopedia.

The only problem is wed have to sell it to ourselves.
