PLANET Of The APES COVER GALLERY - PART FIVE...

Copyright relevant owners

With this post, we'll be taking a little rest from our PLANET Of The APES series for a while, so that you can work up an appetite for when it returns.  You now have the first year's worth of covers to fawn over, so that should keep you going for the meantime.  Is one of your fondly-remembered comics from childhood amongst this bunch?  Let's hear all about it in the comments section.

Incidentally, don't you feel sorry for that first ape in the above cover?  It looks like he's knock-kneed and pigeon-toed - hardly a great combination in anyone's book, eh?  In fact, the poor simian looks a little cross-eyed as well.  It's no wonder he's so angry, what with all these physical imperfections.

GOLD KEY SUPERCAR COMICS COVER GALLERY...

Back in the early '60s, GOLD KEY issued four SUPERCAR comicbooks to tie-in with the GERRY ANDERSON TV puppet programme of the same name.  Thought you might like to see the covers, so no sooner said than done, honoured effendis.  This was the first show to use the SUPERMARIONATION name, but the only one not to be set in the 21st century.

MARVEL'S The SUPER-HEROES COVER & IMAGE GALLERY - PART NINE...

Only five more issues of The SUPER-HEROES to go after this lot, MARVEL fans, before this series draws to a close.  Then I'll have to start thinking about what to hit you with next.  It constantly amazes me to think that, looking back, this title seemed to be around for a huge chunk of my teenage years, but the reality is that it didn't even last a year.  Strange that, eh?  That's happened with quite a few comics from my youth, such as FANTASTIC (89 issues) and TERRIFIC (43 issues), to name but two weekly periodicals from the '60s.

I mention them because The Super-Heroes reminded me of both these esteemed comics, and ALF WALLACE worked on all three titles, which perhaps explains the similarities (or perhaps not).  Anyway, that's enough of my weary waffle, I'll now let you savour what you came here to look at - the pictures themselves.  Enjoy.
