Sure hope so. Ever since the possibility of some of Neil's art

Neil: If this summons by Ty is to question your Canadian identity,
just remember the following:

1) Substite "eh!" for "mate!" in every second or third sentence.
2) Your favorite team is the "Leafs", and, its not cricket

the Leafs never win.
3) Yes, you DO still revere the queen. (Although you can't quite

I have mounted at least one police officer, but she was off duty at the time. 

Of course we worship our queen.  And we don't NEED a reason.  We have a lovely queen, and she hasn't really started a war since the whole Falklands thing, and we weren't in on that here in Canada so it was a bit of all right.  At least we don't have an inbreed emperor running our failed experiment of a country (I'm not naming names but they might be south of us.)

And the Leafs never win?!?!?

They won the cup back in '67!

I'd say that puts your "never win" scenario into serious question.  They win every forty years or so. 

Ty

PS.  Without giving it away, there might be something by Neil in RPOTA #6.  It's actually shaping up to be the best issue ever.

George Harrison always' liked to end his version of The Aristocrat's Joke

--------------------------------------------------

*** When I was in San Diego, I caught "THE
ARISTOCRATS" on the hotel TV on my last night prior to
flying back home. I swear, the funniest performance of
that nasty joke was the one done by the Mime. Gilbert
Gottfried's version (done during the post-911 roast of
Hugh Hefner) was next-best. It's all in the delivery,
and many of those comedians just didn't deliver that
joke well enough to make me laugh. But, ye gods, that
Mime had me screaming in laughter.

Royalty and incest have been linked ever since the
most ancient of times. Egyptian royalty was modeled on
the paradigm of the deities Osiris and Isis -- who
were brother-and-sister, who produced Horus. The
pharaohs were routinely brother-and-sister, and their
offspring became the next-in-line to the throne. Royal
incest was the way things were back then.

The Osiris/Isis/Set triangle (resolved by the
victorious son of Isis by Osiris, Horus, defeating the
evil uncle Set) is the ultimate basis of the story of
HAMLET, whose father (also named Hamlet) was murdered
by his own brother, Claudius, who later married the
widowed Queen Gertrude -- deemed incestuous in the
Elizabethan age.

Various interpreters of Shakespeare's play have sensed
an undercurrent of Royal Incest in HAMLET, even going
so far as to suggest that Hamlet and Gertrude have
some sort of incestuous vibe between them (and there
are actors who've played those roles with this notion
in mind, most notably Olivier).

When Ophelia -- driven mad by Hamlet's cruelty towards
her -- prattles on and on about certain flowers,
reminiscing about her own deceased father Polonius,
there are commentators who point to the fact that the
flower she mentions had symbolic incestuous
connotations, implying that Ophelia had been exposed
to incest by her own father. When Hamlet puns on the
word "conceive" whilst talking to Polonius, the hint
is that Hamlet sees her as 'tainted' by the incestuous
acts of her own father.

One other Shakespearean incest-theme comes up in the
"TEMPEST"-based sci-fi classic "FORBIDDEN PLANET", in
which Dr. Morbius and his daughter Alta are like
Prospera and his daughter. In the original screenplay
(and in the novelization of it by W.J. Stuart) there
is a hint that Commander J.J. Adams and Doc Ostrow
suspect Morbius of maybe having had an "improper"
relationship with his own daughter... but, of course,
this was not allowed in the final cut of the movie
that hit theaters.

I don't recommend the following for the
faint-of-heart, but there's a French writer/artist of
adult comics (truly "graphic" novels) named Bernard
Dufosse whose naughty comics are published under the
name Hanz Kovacq. The first is a 3-part story called
"HILDA" about a 13th Century Hungarian princess named
Hildegarde whose royal family was into incest BIG time
(reincarnated in the modern era as a young woman named
Hilda, whose past-life-regression therapy brings up
all sorts of sordid tales from way back when). The
second is a 2-part story called "DIANE DE GRAND LIEU"
which takes place during the French Revolution and
involves the daughter of an aristocrat who undergoes
rather extreme experiences, including incest with her
aristocrat family. Dufosse/Kovacq is witty (albeit in
an extremely perverted fashion), and his artwork is
quite accomplished (when compared with the art in
other erotic comics being published nowadays), but his
stories are... well, "extreme" doesn't even BEGIN to
cover it. Don't look 'em up if you're easily offended
by such subject matter.

Forry was at the San Diego COMICCON. I was at a couple
of the panels in which he was one of the guests /
presenters. He's very frail -- keep in mind that he
saw the Universal original FRANKENSTEIN when it first
came out in theaters (he reminisced about that
experience), so he's gettin' way up there in age. But
he still has a knack for horrendous puns. He made a
groaner about getting Oprah Winfrey to bankroll a
remake of "THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA" as -- you guessed
it -- "THE PHANTOM OF THE OPRAH". Lame, yes, but
coming from him it had a certain wistful charm to it.

Of course, we POTA freaks know that there's a pun in
BATTLE FOR THE PLANET OF THE APES: the Archives
Section is located at Department "4SJ" at the corner
of Breck and Ackerman. 4SJ... Four Ess Jay... Forest
J. Ackerman. I think it was the Corringtons who
inflicted that pun on the world, wasn't it? Somehow, I
don't think that it originated with Paul Dehn.

Visiting the Ackermansion was a lifelong ambition of mine. I was lucky
enough to meet Forry back in '96 when he was GoH at a con in Montreal. I
attended every panel he gave, got his book signed, and loved every
minute with him.

Alas, the Ackermansion is no more. After years of trying to find a
suitable location for retaining the collection intact, his growing
years, along with a long bitter court battle with the last owner and
publisher of "Famous Monsters" eventually forced Forry to move to a
smaller place and some of the original contents of the ackermansion were
sold and others just moved on. Word has it that he still has the
occasional visitor to the new mini-mansion were he has kept some of his
most prized material.

All this is all the more infuriating since I will now be going down
there in a few weeks. What could have been a visit to the famous
ackermansion. I've always wondered if he had any POTA stuff. (None that
I know of.)

Oh well. At least I will get to meet Forry once again.

Something didn't smell right about "Lost in Space" meeting apes. I
don't remember seeing any POTA apes on LiS. I was under the impression
that LiS preceeded the filming of POTA. But When I looked up the air
dates for the LiS episodes (IMBD site) I see that the last episode
aired 6 March 1968. So given that it was filmed before that, I guess
it's possible that POTA began filming at the time that LiS was still
being filmed.

So was there any POTA apes on LiS? Or were these just photos of a POTA
ape actor goofing off with LiS people between shooting? I doubt that
POTA apes were allowed to be used for LiS aired footage.

This issue is now available for download from Hunter's site. It's week two of the price increase, and the Marvel UK editors, desparate to provide more Apes content to their loyal readers, have included an article this week. Its the first part of a two-part article on the special effects in the Apes films. You also get another chapter in the Terror storyline, a letter colmn, and a few more pages of the reprinted Planet adaptation.

The first two or three episodes of third and last season of "Lost in Space" were shot in the summer of 1967 while PLANET was in production.  No apes from PLANET were seen in LIS, but a gorilla nose and forehead appliance was used in an alien makeup in one episode.

The next issue is at the printers and should be out in a matter of days (not weeks).

The next series (should the graphic novel sell well enough for us to continue) will be called either
EVOLUTION on the Planet of the Apes
or
EMPIRE on the Planet of the Apes.

Both titles have very rough plots behind them, and they both feature Caesar's early days in the ape community (still between Conquest and Battle).

Ty

Great to hear that you guys are already planning the next series!

So is there a scheduled date already for the GN? (How are we to make
it a success if we don't know when to look out for it?). ;)

PS: I recently 'inherited' a large (2000?) comic collection from a
friend. While browsing all those comics I came across one
entitled "Mad-dog". It was a weird thing with two flip sides contain
to separate and different visions of "Mad-Dog" comics. One side was a
your own "Ty the guy" version. Comics live on forever!

Oh wow, MAD DOG!?!

Which issue did you get?  (There are some issues that are better than others.  To this day, Dangerous Dan (She Hulk) Slott considers Mad Dog #3 the best thing I've ever done.  He's wrong, but he still tells me that.)

Yes, the "between" Conquest and BATTLE era does have a lot of things to play around with, but then again, it's got to be the weakest area for storytelling... I mean let's say that you really do manage to squeeze out a fairly decent story set in that era, then what? Where do you go with it? It'd have to be a pretty sub-par story to tie in with the ultra sub-par APES film of BATTLE... If it's a great story that you'd link to BATTLE, then BATTLE would be even worse looking than it is...
