Steve Englehart must've seen it too because it was very soon thereafter that he and Sal Buscema brought us the fantastic four-part story about the 50's Cap, with all his bigoted and outdated 50's attitudes intact.

(BTW, I looked for you on Twitter and it said you were "pending" ??)<br /><br />Anyhow, I've continued The Butterfly (and Hell-Rider's) story in my novel, "The Be(k)nighted" an epic occult/superhero/urban fantasy tale. It can be found here: tinyurl.com/2p8hvms7<br /><br />A low-risk way to check it out is to get the novel's prologue FREE (it's a standalone short-story on it's own, Marian is in there) as part of my BookFunnel Promo: https://books.bookfunnel.com/lillardbooks/76a2o1kbdm<br /><br />Anyway, drop me a line at my blog.

But they did not want to wear out the gimmick, so the rule was that only one DC comic each month would have an ape cover.<br /><br />That's the legend, anyway. It was mentioned by Julius Schwartz in his autobiography, and by Les Daniels in his book about DC. <br /><br />I doubt if there was a hard-and-fast rule, or a specific number. More likely, the editor-in-chief just said, "Try not to over do it." <br /><br />And, as we see in this post, they had two covers with apes that same month. <br /><br />Also, AFAIK, there were fewer than 12 DC ape covers in 1967. The others were Superboy #142, Wonder Woman #170, Doom Patrol #112, and Inferior Five #3. <br /><br />Batman #198 reprinted a 1950s story that had a gorilla in it, but it was not featured on the cover. And Plastic Man #4 had a gorilla that appeared very briefly in the story, but not on the cover.

There was also a PM strip that ran as a secondary feature in Adventure Comics circa 1980. And, as you say, occasional co-starring appearances in Brave & Bold. <br /><br />In a way, I would have expected both Plastic Man and Inferior Five to be more popular in the mid-1960's. They fit in with the camp comedy and pop art fads of that time. But most comic book readers were kids, who wanted their superheroes played straight. And adults would watch tongue-in-cheek action-adventure in other media (James Bond, Derek Flint, and Matt Helm in movies, and Batman, The Man From U.N.C.L.E., and The Wild Wild West on TV), but they did not read comics.TChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13686814973788356726noreply@blogger.com
