I like the idea of "dark" as yes thats what sells

but still would like to see more variety in colors

as opposed to huge single solid colors

makes it look more cartoony than i think it should

just want to see it look as graphic as possible

 

 

  That looks awesome. I like that the colors are muted. Not too flashy. That's the style that works these days, dark and moody. "Gold Key" is out. I dig the logo, too, the "under construction" feel to it.

  I enjoy black and white more than I do color so the lack of flashy color works for me.

Cover is interesting

It is to the point

So what are the details of the new comic

will it be read online only

or will there be a printed version?

I could see this cover definitely standing out in comic book store racks

I personally would like to see more colors

to show off the detail of Neil's work as much as possible

 

The plan is to get it printed and published.

However that's not easy!

I am hoping to get a big chunk of cash later this year. If and when I do I'll be throwing a large amount of it at getting some authorised comics published if I need to (hopefully someone else will see the light before then).

It will be shown here on the group and if we can get this time/day synchronisation to work we'll show you drafts/ideas/ comments from group members including Ty then the final pencils then the full colour pages.

  I can see your point, adding details. But this works for me. It makes the colors that are there stand out, especially the POTA title. Especially for a first issue. No one would miss that title out of the corner of their eye.

well that sounds great

I'll do all I can to help promote it

I think the biggest trick is to get distribution

if you can just get every comic store in North America to order 1 copy each

then you would guarantee so many sales

I wonder if a graphic novel format might be better

you make more money up front in sales and you guarantee that people order the whole series

as usually mini series sell well for the #1 issue and then peter out to the point of losing money by issue #4

  No, the biggest trick is getting people to buy it. That's what's killed all the other POTA comics.

 Aren't comic book stores on the way out now? Everything's online.

Well batting for the comic side and putting my comic retailer head on...   Comics shops have been pretty stable for the last 10 years.

In the states it was estimated that there were approx 10,000 independent shops in the early t0 mid 90s pretty much the peak where they seemed to spring up over night... then they were decimated !!!

At the moment it looks like there are 2500 to 3000 in the US, approx 500 in the UK.

Certainly since the down turn in the world economy  the comic industry hasn't faired as bad as other sectors.

If you look at the direct sales (Sales to comic shops on a non-returnable basis) they are down year on year but I think the latest figure for Feb was about 4 or 5 %

Compare this to the mainstream magazine industry which at the moment is being crippled by Distributor bankruptcy mass cancellations etc 

Here's one story

http://www.reuters.com/article/marketsNews/idINWEN540220090303?rpc=44

 (Mad magazine being one of the casualties going from a monthly to a quarterly sales having dropped from about 200,000  a few years ago to, if I recall, around  50,000)

So as they say "the new UP is FLAT"

A couple of flies in the ointment are the amount of money owed publishers by the big US book seller Borders a heavy stockist of graphic novels.

http://consumerist.com/5183629/is-borders-about-to-go-under

this could hurt comic publishers and have a knock on affect to retailers... but hardly the Comic shops fault

The other is that Diamond Comic Distributors have started to get a lot more picky about what items they carry again not the actual shops fault and some stores are already buying direct from the publisher if Diamond aren't stocking... so all in all the retail side of the industry is doing OK .

Which isn't to say on-line is not the way to go, just a small defence of brick and mortar stores.

Enough rambling

Best,Graham.

Hello Eveybody

it sounds like a great ideal, my ideal was doing something like the 1977 Star Wars book
like the "Art of Star Wars". I wanted to do something like "The Art of POTA"  and have the original
scripts from the movies. I would like your opinions on this and I wanted to do something like a

I have an idea for a third Planet of the Apes book, once I finish my

appraisal of what you think of the idea. I was consider writing a
guide to POTA fanfic--plot synopsis, characters, timeline setting,

Hi Missy

I tried to wait as long as possible before asking again if there’s any news – ie is the script finished/near completion?  Is Mr Frank letting anything out of the bag in the way of interviews etc?

There seems to be nothing but rumours at the moment!

Let me know if there’s anything I can know, and pass on to the fans.  There’s talk of a comic based on Mr Frank’s characters?

Tim - I actually did get the attachments open.

I feel I've seen that wax Zira before and I do think it's a WAX MUSEUM head. I think someone uploaded the entire figure a while back?

The rings do pop up on eBay every so often too.

Neil - did you keep other cover ideas - I know there were a few? If so when you get home please upload mate!

Thanks for sharing the pics Tim, those rings are nice though not my cup of tea... not really a ring type guy...

Though I did have a set of these...

http://cgi.ebay.com/Rare-1975-Planet-Of-The-Apes-POTA-Zira-Toy-Ring_W0QQitemZ190299685943QQcmdZViewItemQQimsxZ20090409?IMSfp=TL0904091510001r3197

well, 2 sets actually, because I nicked my brothers...

Running round the house with 10 sparkly rings...what must my parents have thought

Best,Graham.
