Now come on Michael, as the "official Pom" of the group, you know I should be the first one to mention them !

(...and I'd never acuse you of Sloppiness... you've never missed of the last page of a comic like the Marvel UK crew... the sad thing was no one really noticed:()

Kevin,

I ordered the liquid latex at Alcone Company in New York ( http://www.alconeco.com/ ) because I also got the rubber mask grease there but I think you can order it from any FX/makeup site. You can probably find liquid latex at an art store too. It's pretty stinky, so work in a well ventilated place.

Jess.

T, I do know how to tie wigs now! I spent 40 hours on my hairline alone. Didn't you think it was a vast improvement from the first time I was under the goo? It's also better to glue down your own sideburns, too with human hair and liquid latex. Better (and cheaper) than what you can find out there!!!

Thanks for reply, one thing that would bring costs down is if they had a u.k outlet.
So that you dont have those expensive postage costs.
And if you spend over a certain amount here in the u.k when it comes over we then have to pay custom's tax before they release it to you making it even more expensive.
Surly they could even do a line of cheaper ammo belts and replica rifles.
Hope that Apemania do take note because what they do is great stuff but costs keep us mear mortals from being able to afford there great range.

He was actually in the final episode, not the pilot. Leuric was the character who built the glider.

I finished rewatching the TV series about two weeks ago, and the scene in which Burke says that, followed by a look of exasperation on Virdon's face, is probably the funniest moment on the series. I burst out laughing every time he says that.

Thanks to Rory Monteith, scans of an article about Taylor's ship from
Planet of the Apes from Sci-Fi & Fantasy magazine have been added to
the Magazine Articles page.

Also, thanks to Jeff at Skin Tricks, a 1974 article from Read magazine
is now available.

That would make sense considering the Brown & Watson annuals only printed TV based comics (unless I'm mistaken), while Marvel only made original or movie-based stories. They must have been separate entities, they surely wouldn't have been that strict unless they had to be.

I found this recently, on the Brown & Watson annuals - all of them, but theres a POTA mention some way down - I'd heard John Bolton's name associated with these before but not Oliver Frey.

Thanks to Rory, I've also added a great article from the April 1968
issue of AMERICAN CINEMATOGRAPHER to my Magazine Articles page. This
article covers the technical aspects of the filming of APES. Very
cool!

https://pota.goatley.com/

I'll have more from Rory and a few more scans from Jeff in the next
few days....

There was a minor scanning glitch on page 5. Rory sent me a new scan,
and I've updated the .PDF file. Sorry about that!

I googled the word "leuric" just to see what possible derivation it has. I always wonder how the POTA writers came up with various names for their characters, especially if it is a name currently in use. How might such a name survive the centuries, especially after a nuke war depopulates the world drastically?

Anyway, it seems that the name LEURIC probably stems from Irish stock, since there was a guy named LEURIC CHARLES COBBE who lived from 1859 to 1897 in County Dublin. However, according to a book by James Parker ["The early history of Oxford, 727-1100"], on page 269, in a chapter called DESCRIPTION OF OXFORD IN DOMESDAY SURVEY, it says that: "... the name Leuric is found very frequently as a tenant in King Eadward's time, and occasionally as an undertenant in William's time." Parker goes on to mention that the name Leuric also had the form "Wluric... written generally Vluric" -- the "V" being pronounced like a "U" or "W" of course.

I couldn't find any Latin-based names similar at all to "Leuric" and, given the presence of the name in the Domesday Book, we should probably expect it to be of Anglo-Saxon derivation. Of course, if the name Leuric is actually of Irish derivation, then it could be that the persons carrying that name in the Domesday survey were of Irish stock, living in Oxford.

Just for giggles, I looked in my Liddell & Scott GREEK-ENGLISH LEXICON and found this curious word: "leuros, -a, -on" which is derived from Gk. "leios" [related to Latin "levis"], meaning "smooth, level, even; polished."

Now, I don't know what the writers of "UP ABOVE..." [Arthur Browne Jr. and Shimon Bar-David] were thinking when they came up with the obscure name "Leuric" for their intrepid glider-maker. But you'll recall that in that episode our Fugitives save him from certain disaster by positioning a polished rock that had been formed from a lightning strike so as to focus sunlight on Leuric's glider, destroying it with a fire.

So... Leuric's glider is destroyed when a "polished" [Gk. "leur-"] glassy-rock sets it afire, that rock being now a polished lens.

Oh, it's probably just a coincidence, but it wouldn't surprise me if one or both of the co-writers was working in a pun.

Good idea John

Probably not a bad idea for fans to show some unity too.

It's really embarrassing when I contact someone like Ty or the fellow who is doing the new "comic" (which he should have announced by now to be a Graphic Novel – here's an exclusive for your group James!), and they say other fans have warned them about me. It's just completely ridiculous, and very unprofessional. Makes us look like school kids.

I think all the fanzines should promote each other equally, and promote the groups and other aspects of fandom (websites, publications etc) equally too.

Would be a nice gesture if you and Dave rejoin the DG too John. I think the standards of SS have slipped, but that's just my humble opinion. But I still read Neil's copy and if I like it I'll but one. Nothing personal intended. And I should be able to state an opinion – as I'd welcome hearing feedback from you about the DG or the forthcoming fanzine.

James – probably time for us to grow up and stop competing too. It's not healthy.

It will never happen Jess.

Not with POTA.

James is so scared of a challenge he hasn't even allowed my post to go through on his group.

Some things never change.

Sadly, for some people it is all about promoting THEMSELVES, and being able to make claims (like James says Battle was cut to get more showings in a given day) with no evidence and get away with it.

Pathetic.

That's why POTA fandom will always be slipping backwards.

I'm in complete agreement our numbers are slowly falling unfortunatly some people feel they need to die with age ( inconsiderate!!! )
however yes we should unite lifes to short to be battling against each other's website, comic, discussion group whatever.
And if we want a common enemy to prod and take the piss out of how about star wars or star trek to name a few.
No really why take the piss out of anyones personal prefrence of movies.
We have people out there who dont understand about how we can like pota like we do.
Peace and love to all , there's enough problems in the world without having to add to it.
Korea???, Afganistan????, Iraq???, Recession???, ( God the list is never ending )
Kiss and make up ?
Mark :)

Well, I’ve hung on to this for a long time now and Andrew did say it’s out of the bag now (at San Diego Comic Con) so here you go.

This sounds VERY exciting to me and sounds like Andrew DOES know a thing or two about POTA.

Thanks for your email!  My company, BLAM! Ventures, LLC, is a multimedia company specializing in the comic book/graphic novel industry and digital media. Our ‘Lost Tribes’ imprint looks to revive many classic science fiction and fantasy movies and television shows of the '60s, '70s and '80s with a fresh approach and a reverent hand, touching the audiences of today's generation, while reacquainting previous fans with old friends.  

BLAM!'s first Planet of the Apes project, officially licensed by FOX Broadcasting, isn't a comic book but is an over-sized illustrated novel titled Conspiracy of the Planet of the Apes.  It's story set during the first movie and centers on the Astronaut Landon and Chimpanzee scientist Dr. Milo. The novel is written by me with my two creative partners, contains over 20 full color "paintings" (digital and traditional) from various top talent in the industry and will be in all the bookstores in the Spring of 2010.

While the first draft has been approved by FOX, we are still working out some details.  Therefore, this project is still confidential and we have not yet made an official press release. (Feel free to drop hints to others that there is a "project" in the works though.)  We will be making the official announcement just prior to San Diego Comic Con and will be displaying art from the book there.

I would love to become a member of your discussion board, and would like to talk to you about increasing POTA's web presence in general.  Perhaps you or a member of your group would be interested in facilitating the uniting of message boards and creation of resource web sites in order to beef up POTA's internet appeal.  Feel free to email me or contact me at the number below.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Oh, this sounds great! I've always thought there was a story (a short story, admitedly) just waiting to be told about Landon's fate. I'm looking forward to this.

That's a shame, I think it was pretty mature of you to make an offer like that. But don't give up yet, it might happen someday.

Thanks to Rich's detective work, I was able to get in touch with a guy who worked at the Newcastle City Hall when the Apes UK live show performed there (December '75-January '76). I've added the few memories he shared to the wiki page, but here's what he had to say:

"We had a resident Circus, starring Planet of the Apes, at the City Hall. I had no particular involvement other than turning the houselights on and off for a few of the shows. There were perhaps half a dozen [Apes] and they basically ran round the auditorium miming to a show tape that we put on and played through the house PA (reel to reel 1/4inch tape, no less). From memory they were on late in the second half for about ten minutes before the Circus Finale. I don't recall a synopsis, but that doesn't mean there wasn't one.

I remember the masks and costumes were very authentic. For one show, the apes went on strike and refused to appear. The first I knew of it was the Ringmaster announcing that due to circumstances beyond their control, Planet of the Apes were unable to appear. Curious, I went backstage and found them sitting in the understage band room, in costume, looking miserable. They said that they hadn't been paid, they had been promised and let down too many times and they were fed up. It must have got sorted out pretty quickly as they did the next show, or possibly it was a Saturday and they did the evening one.

One key thing that happened though, was that the manager's son (who was the City Hall lighting man) eloped with the high wire act - resulting in my promotion to House Electrician!"

Wonder if those tapes are still in someones basement/attic/garage...

I have just uploaded a few of the illustrations from a French hardback 1971 Edition of La Planete des Singes, illustr ated by Jacques Pecnard.

 

I have been cleaning up my computer and came across the folder with these in and remembered saying ages ago that I would share them with the group. For some reason I never got around to it but better late than never!

 

There's still quite a few of them to go so if anyone wants me to upload the rest just say so and I'll be happy to do so.

There is a dust jacket but it is clear plastic with just the titles printed in white on it, very unusual.

I hope there’s a niche for it Jeff but I foresee very poor sales.

I also wish it WERE a comic because that might get more younger people interested….or maybe this is a great idea because it aims at the older fans?

I wish it well.

  Sure, Michael. What an imagination you have! A new POTA book >wink! wink!<.

 No, that sounds great. They really seem to know what they're talking about. Landon and Milo ? That could be interesting. That could go a long way to explaining how Milo had all that time to find the ship, etc. All 5 of us will enjoy it.
