I started reading POTA because the TV show was being broadcast at the time and I assumed the comic was about the TV show. I'd never seen (or even heard of) any of the apes films so at first I was really confused by the POTA comic but I was hooked anyway.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6263300365798803459.post-58753337299480318472017-02-25T17:42:01.850+00:002017-02-25T17:42:01.850+00:00There are indeed noticeable parallels between the ...There are indeed noticeable parallels between the Thals and the Eloi and also between the Daleks and the Morlocks. There are also parallels between the Daleks and the Martians from, "War of the Worlds," both being physically degenerate tentacled monsters that travel around in machines.<br /><br />Come to think of it, "The Dalek Invasion of Earth," bears similarities to, "War of the Worlds," and, later on, Davros bears similarities to Dr Moreau. It would seem that Terry Nation was a big HG Wells fan.Steve W.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09191442559702617745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6263300365798803459.post-48767922574915049742017-02-25T15:47:56.944+00:002017-02-25T15:47:56.944+00:00I'm with Colin, it is indeed a sad week for Ma...I'm with Colin, it is indeed a sad week for Marvel UK, but worse was to come! I collected all the MWOM's with POTA in and the first one with Drac, but that's as far as I got. I wanted adaptations of the 14 TV Apes episodes, but it wasn't to be. Another new film series would be the next big Marvel draw!<br />I liked the original Time Machine film too, Steve! Aren't the Eloi just like the Thals?!<br />Don't think I've seen the remake either, Col. - Will keep an eye out for it!John Pitthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08035300858247327343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6263300365798803459.post-26405847317226301292017-02-24T08:34:35.505+00:002017-02-24T08:34:35.505+00:00Colin, I have seen the, "Time Machine," ...Colin, I have seen the, "Time Machine," remake but I can't remember whether I liked it or not.

Actually, I'd stopped reading POTA several weeks previously and the final issue seems a lot more poignant now than it did back then - and the POTA weekly seemed to have lasted for years when, in fact, it was a mere 28 months which feels like five minutes nowadays. Steve, have you seen the 2002 remake of The Time Machine ? It was excellent in my opinion.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6263300365798803459.post-66818237744626264882017-02-23T20:03:11.479+00:002017-02-23T20:03:11.479+00:00It was indeed Homer Simpson and you are indeed a T...It was indeed Homer Simpson and you are indeed a TTB.
