When you concider $20 includes shipping, I don't really see where the problem is. As long as the quality is as good as what was offered this time around. It's worth every penny. I know I'm probably alone here but I'd love to see the comics printed (even in black & white) & I could take or leave the articles. We all know there is not much to report on in the world of Planet of the Apes until/unless the new film really happens. I like the thought of a Marvel Mag style continuing comic.

I have to agree with Mike, Maz and John - it really is a more rewarding experience to have the physical printed comic. It's a real kick to see Neil's art in full colour too, but if came to a choice between continuing in B&W or stopping, then definately carry on with B&W. I think the articles make it 'more' than a straight-forward comic project, so ideally I'd like to see them continue, but again, they're not the main focus of the Zine...

*** Yes, there is value to "some" of the old PLANET books, but not really
any in the one you were able to grab... That's the easiest paperback version
to obtain... If it has the red lettering on the front saying something like
"Now an exciting film from 20th Century Fox" it might have a little more
appeal due to it being the tie-in novel released in 1968, but still it's the
most run of the mill edition... ***

Terry,

Didn't you have a sub-fanzine called "APES-CRAZY" or something like that?
If so, was the content much different than "AC"?</HTML>

I have read the BLAM! article in the Forbidden Zine and I noticed the mention of a free Trading Card of Cornelius (limited to 500) being sent to everyone who bought the posters and is a member of the DG.

I have not received anything - has anyone else.

Why should we bother Drew and ask him to include Neil's artwork? Did you bother Handley and ask him to do the same or do you try to distance yourself from Handley's pathetic grabs for cash?

*** No offense to your story, but it really is an alternate timeline
itself... While I prefer the ambiguity of the way the apes took over pre-PLANET,
going by the scenario explained in ESCAPE, the whole thing was because man
took apes as pets which, over time, led to them becoming servants... There
was no mention (or indication) that they were being altered to become
military creatures... Whether or not people like the "pets to slaves" scenario, it
is canon and it's not just the cheap plot point of CONQUEST, it was also
used to explain how originally apes rose to lead to the world of PLANET... Even
with ESCAPE, CONQUEST, and BATTLE being in timeline two, apes slavery is
PLANET's "prequel" according to the history lesson given in ESCAPE...

There's nothing wrong with where your story originates, or what it's
contents are, but the way it's all laid out, I see it as an alternate take on the
concept (at least as far as how the apes eventually came to power...) ***

Mike I asked Sharry if she could wear a pullover, and she flat out refused. She said she's not about to sweat under a pullover, foam latex or whatnot. She was complaining about being a regular Joe Schmoe when chatting with the celebrities because she was not dressed in costume.

I told her I would glue down the makeup on her--she just had to sit there while I applied it. She still refused. UGH!! She would be perfect because she's short like me.

Still looking for that other ape to hang out with!!

Oh...my kids would like to attend another convention, but if it's not Wondercon, they don't want to don the ape gear. Only for Wondercon will they go ape.

*** If you like the attention, I can see why you'd want to dress up as Zira
and I can also see why you'd want at least one other there so you're not
quite as alone, but at one of those modern conventions, the chances of finding
Cornelius in the crowd is slim... If there were such things as classic
Sci-Fi conventions (or better yet, one focused on APES) then I'm sure you'd have
a lot of company... And since you don't like being the only ape, have you
ever thought about having "HardyGirl" from the Mego group dress up with you
(maybe in a pullover mask like your kids had)? ***

Just got my issue of Forbidden Zine in the mail! It looks pretty awesome I must say. I continue to be more and more impressed with Neil's work. He captured the feel and likeness of all the ape characters perfectly. The material translates real well from concept to paper.

I don't know if it's possible to be any more stoked for the Conspiracy book. There has never been a book that has been harder to wait for. I know it's going to blow me away because what I've seen already is amazing.

Both Graham and Jessica have great articles. Both know what they are doing and it's a pleasure to have them share their information with us. I look forward to another issue and hope I can contribute..it would be an honor!

Wow. Some cool stuff. It also gives me hope that there may be more Planet of the Apes fans out there than we sometimes like to think that there are.

We went to the New Orleans Comic Con yesterday & the offical photographer for the event had a fatastic tattoo of Marcus on his leg. We talked for a while & he's a huge fan of POTA (& many other retro items) He has a pretty insane toy collection. http://www.myspace.com/hanzondrumz

I had a few other people comment on my "Caesar Christ / Chuck Satan" tattoo & 2 people even took pics of it. So Planet of the Apes may not be as dead as it feels sometimes. I just think its harder for us to stumble onto each other. Hell, I found this group by accident all those years ago.

I've created an album with all my POTA shirts. I have not included any of my Burton POTA or the ones I've made myself. 2 of the shirts are unauthorized, but I liked them. The ones with just the logos are the fronts or backs of shirts.

*** While I agree with what you're saying in theory, there are a lot of
variables to consider... Too many to just pigeon hole it down so easily...

There are some who will be all over it like flies on sh*t, simply because
of the name...

Then there are some who are hard-core and will only accept the original
incarnation(s): the films and TV series, but there are also some who HATE the
TV series and looked at it in the same way I looked at Burton's film... And
I'm sure that there are some who only see PLANET as any good and had disdain
toward everything else... (And no doubt there might be some literary types
who see everything as pure trash and as a bastardization of Boulle's book)...

Even the two biggies, SW and ST have their splinter groups, all is not
"one" in their collective fandoms... There are those who only want the original
trilogy and have hatred toward the prequels (and after seeing EP 1, I can
see where they're coming from) and there are those who will cheerfully snap up
every incarnation of media with the SW label on it...

ST has those who are hard-core and only care about the original series,
where later fans of TNG look at that as ST's high point and look at TOS as
hokey or whatever... Then again there are those who will tune into ANY series
with the ST name attached and love it to death...

All franchises have their people who view all of the incarnations as pure
gold because of the name, and some people are smart enough to look beyond the
name and pick and choose what they like...

These are pretty cool, especially the tops... I'm wondering if that set
might have one missing because it has all the "key" players except for Jeff
Burton aka Dodge... It was good seeing all of the apes properly identified, and
not the usual "any old orangutan can be Dr. Zaius" mind set...

I'm guessing these are somewhat rare, but being they were cheap
fair/carnival give-a-ways/prizes, there's probably boxes of them in a warehouse
somewhere...

And they can't be too old, the dead giveaway being the PLANET logo is the
altered one... </HTML>

I love stories like this. Thanks Tim!

****As I said in my post regarding these yesterday, it's obvious they are
NOT from the 70s, no way, no how... The dead giveaway being the POTA logo:
It's the altered version with the words "of the" together horizontally rather
than the original way with the word "of" being under the P in PLANET and
over the word "the"...

Plus, a lot of things from the 70s would show at least some aging... Yes,
pristine examples of things CAN be found, but cheap plastic like that tends
to yellow a little and/or maybe gets a few hairline cracks in it... They're
cool for what they are (and especially since they're original PLANET!), but
vintage 70s, nope... ***

Trying to define "Fan" is not something that you will ever get any
consensus on. The reason being that there are different types of fans
that participate in fandom in different ways. Nothing wrong with that.

I do disagree that a fan is, or even should be, someone who is almost
guaranteed to try a new product associated with the target fandom.
That's the mentality that fosters abusive merchants putting out
overpriced and/or crappy merchandise. A fan may be reasonably be
expected to be more excited about the products and more likely to pay
a premium, but that doesn't mean they have to be stupid and get ripped
off. Another factor to consider is that everyone's financial situation
is different and just because they are not buying a particular product
should not lessen their status as a fan.

I think that when presented with obvious outrageous prices for things
that could easily be sold at more reasonable lower prices, one should
put their foot down. I would rather not encourage those pricing
tactics. I tend to give the Rittenhouse cards as an example. Some
people liked them, and if that was the case and they believed that
they were getting their value for the money, then that is fine. But a
lot of others like myself thought that they crossed the line not only
by having out of the ballpark pricing, but also by almost entirely
omitting 'apes' from their "Planet of the Apes" product line.

On the other hand, I've spent a lot of money over the years picking up
odd items in shops or on ebay. I've got books, comics, magazines,
fanzines, action figures, CDs, DVDs, posters, and even a lot of the
cheaper and more available vintage material. But I'm not a buyer of
the high priced or rare vintage stuff. Does that make me any less a
fan. I hope not. Participation is much more indicative a measure,
discussion groups like this being a good example. So we're all fans
here.

Makes you wonder what other unknown goodies are going to turn up from Argentina where it seems they really like / liked POTA.

Veetus,

Anything to report to the potaDG about this?

You did attend, right?

Does anyone here know the name of the line of APES knockoffs that came out
around the time of the pota2001 movie?

I think they might have been from the UK and they had various apes with
headgear like crowns, one had an Ursus type helmet with diamond studs, etc....

If anyone has any pictures of them, please send them to me and/or post them
to the DG, thanks...</HTML>

Thanks for the link, but that's not the one I meant...

The ones I meant are/were about 6-8" tall and were on muscular bodies...
The heads were more in the MEGO style, and I think there were about six of
them...
