I mean, c’mon. Who wouldn’t buy that?

It is a little familiar looking, though.

    So, the cover artist is really good at cutting and pasting, but when he has to draw something, we end up with that dancer on the upper right. Um, arms don’t work that way.

    It’s awesome, but if El Santo had the giant frog in a headlock it’d be EPIC!!!

  • Gamera977

    I don’t really understand any of the cover. I mean is the dancer in the foreground and being targeted by the giant frog’s tongue? The rock she’s standing on looks almost like it’s in the background to me.
    And what’s the weird bird that looks like a cross between a crow and a cockatiel in the NW corner? And the Giant Claw looking bird thing in the foreground?
    El Santo looks like he’s running for a touchdown in American football but has no ball. Is he going to body slam the giant frog?!?
    And the background- is this all happening at sunrise/sunset? Is there a volcano exploding in the background? An A-bomb??? Has the radiation caused the frog to mutate and grow fangs? Maybe that explains all the mutant animals???

    Am I overthinking this!!?!

    BTW: I picked up the Complete Gamera Collection from Arrow on Blu-Ray and it’s incredible. Every Gamera movie from the original up to ‘Gamera The Brave’ all cleaned up and enhanced for Blu-Ray. And a set of comics hardbound and a booklet of background material to each film. I posted photos up in the forum.

    The set looks great. Pity it’s so costly. But congrats to you, and Happy Birthday.

    You can tell the frog is evil because he has one of those long cigarette holders.

  • Gamera977

    Oh gee friggin’ whiz- I pre-ordered the set, about $110.00 or so for eleven disks- I figured ten bucks a Blu-Ray isn’t bad. But it looks out of print and the price on Amazon is over three times as much now- oh boy…. And thanks.

  • So where does Ray Milland fit into all this?

  • zombiewhacker

    So… I take it this is New Zoo Revue concept art that never made it past the pre-production boards?

  • I would totally have bought that comic. Judging from the cover, it would appear that the comic came first?

  • From what my Google Fu can figure, this is from the third series of El Santo comics, which started running in 1976. Frogs is 1972, so no, the comic artist is definitely the ripper off-er, rather than the ripper off-ee.
