The Thing on The Planet of the Apes

 

This is a crossover that I am surprised I never got to back in my Marvel Two-In-One: The Lost Issues days.  So I am happy to finally include it on the blog.  I'm also happy to combine the amazing painted art work of Daniel Acuna and Earl Norem.

i know it's serious, but that ape's first reaction could be ....Human??
After Ben's punch, he says..You tell me!! to an unconscious ape.

"Boy, these apes are worse than the Yancy Street Gang."

A knockout cover. (Almost literally, but Benjamin hasn't quite touched down yet.)

Agreed:

1) Awesome cover.

3) That gorilla's in for a world of hurt.

I'm even more surprised you never had Igoo of the Herculoids appear on the POTA! Maybe for STF #4075?

In any case...Happy Memorial Day, Ross. :-)

Now that would be a planet for the USS Enterprise too explore. As for this issue I can just hear Mr Grimm saying 'Get your hands off her you, damn dirty ape! Because It's Clobbering Time!'

I wonder if the blonde is supposed to be Alicia...or Aunt Petunia?

@Anon@11:51: Petunia's hair was black before it more recently turned white.

I loved those old Planet of the Apes magazines!
And thanks for putting Peter Gabriel in my head ♫♪♫♪

Now if we could just get a team-up that has _definitely_ never been done here, yet. Armless Tiger Man and Arms Fall-off Boy!

Or, failing that, "Predator Vs. Aliens on The POTA!"
