I can't tell you why I like it (well, I liked POTA much more in the Seventies), but I just did. And speaking of clowns creeping you out, I just listened to the final audio version of my story "Practice," which will soon release on Audible, Amazon, and iTunes. The narrator does such a good job with the voices, I'm going to be seeing the creepy clown from the story around every corner now! See my blog, Cool Comics in My Collection, at https://edgosney.com/

I love ALL things Planet of The Apes. Great post! BUT. . . You forgot the most recent version of POTA, but not to worry! I did a "Longbox Junk" entry on BOOM! Studios awesome 16 issue Apes run. Check it out. . .

I might cover some of them sometime in the future. For now, I just cover a handful of comics each week. I used to do seven, for each day in the week, but I don't have as much time these days, especially with trying to get more fiction written. If you ever want to be a guest host for a week on my blog, I'd love it. The top part of my blog tells how you can do that. See my blog, Cool Comics in My Collection, at https://edgosney.com/

The memories, Ed, oh the memories of that first film starring Charlton Heston and Roddy McDowell. It was quite a sensation at the time, and I did enjoy watching it, though I have to confess I didn't follow the films that followed nor any other aspect of it. I did pick up issue #1 of the 70's Marvel series, Adventures on the Planet of the Apes" but that is it. I have to say the video clip you sent us to was tremendous fun as well - especially when they were singing to the tune of "Rock Me Amadeus"! Tenzil

And I couldn't resist linking to "Rock Me, Dr. Zaius," as it's a favorite with my family. If any of you are on Facebook, and you're a little aged, I just joined a group called "Old Guys Who Like Old Comics," and it's a lot of fun. I highly recommend it.

mrhan1 Comic Guru Location: California Posts: 703 My Collection	Posted: March 24, 2017 8:30:16 am Nice read. Thanks. I also collected the magazine and have the 1990 series. However, the best version of the apes IMHO is the original novel. If you haven't read it your missing out.
edgos2 Comic Guru lifetime member Location: Copley, Ohio Posts: 776 My Collection	Posted: March 24, 2017 12:31:01 pm mrhan1, you are so right! The original Planet of the Apes novel was very good, and also very different from the movies. Glad you enjoyed the blog! See my blog, Cool Comics in My Collection, at https://edgosney.com/

It's okay but I wouldn't say you are missing out on anything.
