I'm now too old to reliably recall whether I ever had Planet Of The Apes & Dracula Lives #100 back in the day or not, but having recently seen the cover of it over on McScotty's blog That Was Then (should actually be called Now And Then 'cos he doesn't post very often, the lazy loafer), I decided I must have the issue for myself so promptly bought one via eBay. Why? Well, as far as is known (by me anyway), it's the only cover Frank Thorne ever drew for a UK Marvel mag, perhaps even any UK mag in fact, and that makes it worth having in my collection.
Frank was an excellent artist and he drew the female figure in such a way as to induce feelings of lust and desire in young teenage boys who slobbered and drooled over babes like Red Sonja - She-Devil With A Sword. He could draw bosoms as if they were ripe pears just waiting to be plucked (I said plucked, Melvin) and it's difficult for me to tear my eyes away from the lovely lass on the cover of POTA's Centennial issue, despite all the action going on. Anyway, thought I'd show it here to save you having to jump over to McS's blog to view it. I'm thoughtful that way.
