Classics Illustrated made some kind of attempted comeback about 10 or
15 years ago, right? Where they had a lot of titles completely redone,
much more modernistically. I never bought any of those.

Could you have seen a comic based on the George Pal movie version of
the story? Not that I ever saw one of those.

I'm half heartedly looking for a video copy of "Rocketship XM," the 50s
space movie, where some guys and one buxom brunette go to Mars. I last
saw that at age 8 or so and certain scenes stuck with me. I'm dying to
see how they REALLY look. Like the way the buxom brunette was STRAPPED
TIGHTLY DOWN during take-off. And if I remember correctly, the
degenerate Martian humanoids were glimpsed only at a distance, thus
MUCH COOLER LOOKING to my kid imagination than they could possibly have
been in real movie-life.

TEENAGE CAVEMAN with Robert Vaughan was a movie that I thought just
KEEN when I was 9 or 10... happened to see it again in the 90s. Every
few scenes sparked different VIVID, WRENCHING memories of OTHER 5th
grade things, most of them not nearly as pleasant as a movie of cavemen
fighting mutants in shitty make-up.

And the other day at the video store I noted that somebody had REMADE
it, on an even LOWER budget.

Unlike the old days, they hired a bunch of artists who had distinctive
styles -- Rick Geary and Gahan Wilson come to mind, tho I can't remember
which stories they did.
