What's another mushroom cloud between doomsdays? :D<br />Comicsfanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10064955427593820783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4142199900369238852.post-16087897234307557452015-04-12T08:09:04.974-04:002015-04-12T08:09:04.974-04:00And a bit of googling reveals that "Adventure...And a bit of googling reveals that "Adventures On The Planet Of The Apes" #11 (the final issue and the final part of "Beneath") has a cover featuring Taylor and General Ursus facing each other with a mushroom cloud in the background - it would have been the perfect opportunity to legitimately use the word "doomsday" on the cover but it's not there.

I've been watching 'Beneath The Planet Of The Apes' on YouTube and the bomb is called the "Doomsday Bomb" which is well named I suppose as it blows up the whole world (apparently Charlton Heston demanded that or he wouldn't take part in the film). Of course, Marvel did an adaptation of 'Beneath' so it's OK to mention it here :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4142199900369238852.post-68912495475285800182015-04-10T21:44:43.228-04:002015-04-10T21:44:43.228-04:00My take on the Strange cover, Colin, is that his h...My take on the Strange cover, Colin, is that his hands look more shriveled than skeletal because his gloves are covering the bones, and the fabric gives the hands a more wrinkled look (like his outer garment around the arms and legs).<br />Comicsfanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10064955427593820783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4142199900369238852.post-28779333777583492322015-04-10T09:13:47.644-04:002015-04-10T09:13:47.644-04:00It's curious how Dr. Strange's face is a s...It's curious how Dr. Strange's face is a skeleton but his hand is just a bit shrivelled. I think we'd care about a doomsday on the moon if it was destroyed - the moon's gravity keeps Earth's 23 degree tilt stable and controls the tides but on the plus side there'd be no more werewolves. In 1066 William The Conqueror...er, conquered...England and in 1086 he conducted a census called The Domesday Book (pronounced Doomsday Book) - it's the most famous census in British history but it's a bit of a mystery why it was given that portentous name, there are theories but nothing's been established as far as I know :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
