Subject: [PotaDG] What was the first POTA item you ever got and what was your age ?

The first thing I ever found was at the local comic book shop

by luck I found a beat copy of POTA Marvel Magazine #7

It was the only thing I had for a long time - got it when I was about 14 in 1985

Since it was the 1980s there was nothing out there at all and I had not been part of the original toy craze as I was 3 in 1974.

The local video had all the movies and I did rent them around this time as well - so except for airings I first saw on TV (late night movie)

this was the first time I got to see the movies when I wanted !

Whats your story?

The first thing I'd have picked up would have been either POTA weekly #1 from Marvel UK or Mego's Cornelius, so I'd have been around 9 years old.

Though I'm not sure  if I'd have seen the first episode of the TV series or not at this point.

I do remember seeing the trailers for the show on TV and this was the first time I was aware of POTA.

( I have a vague memory of seeing the Battle movie poster on the tube in London when I was on holiday visiting family but not sure if this is a "false" memory or not)

Best,Graham.

My first was issue #27 of the British weekly comic back in 1975. After that I soon picked up all the back issues from a second hand book stall at the Bury markets, all except issue 1. I never found a copy of that until I moved out here years later!

I had seen Escape in 1971 at the Friday night movies put on by the RAAF at a hostel they had when I was living in Penang , Malaysia . I was 8 years old and it blew me away but I knew nothing more about POTA until the comics and TV show came out in England when I 'lived the Apes craze'

Subject: [PotaDG] OT: News Corp. goes # 2

 It looks like News Corp has a replacement for Peter Chernin, who retires at the end of the month. Basically, this person is the # 2 man behind Rupert Murdoch. And that person is...

 

 Tim Burton. No, it's Chasey Carey, who was running DirecTV for News Corp. What does this have to do with anything? Nothing really, except that as News Corp. goes, so goes POTA.

 The main difference seems to be that while Chernin used to run Fox and was still very involved when as # 2, Carey will be more hands off when it comes to movies. So Rothman and Co. can continue to ruin movies without interference.

 Apparently Rupe's kids are not ready (or willing) to begin their ascent to the top, so Carey will be around for a while. He might still be there 3 "Caesar" sequels from now.

Subject: [PotaDG] APE CHRONICLES #45 now available in 3 different formats !! Order now

Ape Chronicles #45 is designed and ready to ship

Due to new internet technology and marketing I am trying out a few different formats

Each has their pro's and con's and various prices

It is has been suggested we go to color cover artwork so I am doing that now for all 3 formats

 

The Old Fashioned Way

For 18 years now I have printed them as cheaply as I can - regular paper, regular xerox format

$9.99 includes shipping for the regular printed paper version - sent to you directly from me

$7.99 for a PDF version of the entire book and is emailed to you immediately from me (cheapest and fastest if you don't mind reading it on your computer)

 

The new way

I am working on selling through Amazon.com but until that is set up the best way to sell is through Lulu.

So the new issue is now professionally printed!

Printed: 56 pages, 8.5" x 11", perfect binding, white interior paper (60# weight), black and white interior ink, white exterior paper (100# weight), full-color exterior ink

It can be ordered here at this link 

http://www.lulu. com/content/ paperback- book/planet- of-the-apes- --ape-chronicles -%2345/7240370

$13.99 plus shipping if you order directly through Lulu at this link

 

If you are patient you can order copies of the professionally printed copy directly from me as I can give you a better price

The only catch is that I have to order them from Lulu and then they are mailed to me and then I mail to you

My actual cost to order them in wholesale is $9.99 each

so to break even I would need to charge you $9.99 plus shipping to mail you a copy

At this point there is no way to print them cheaper and have them shipped

But I'm open to suggestions
 

I do take paypal as well as international money orders, personal checks, cash
Paypal address = evelynstocki@ hotmail.com
