    The black and white medium, through Planet of the Apes, brought out the absolute best in Mike Ploog. I miss the days when product like this was so abundant in the marketplace.

    I cannot thank you enough for this. The POTA black and white magazine was (along with Doc Savage) the key experience of my comics reading 1970s.

    Surely The Magick Man's Last Gasp Purple Light Show is the most Don McGergorish title for a comic story ever not actually written by Don McGregor.

    But Doug Moench was able to come up with such winners as The Slipped Mickey Click Flip (Creepy # 54).
