Inside This Issue
#85 catches Planet of the Apes at the peak of its early-’70s grip on pop culture, with a full filmbook on Escape from the Planet of the Apes — the third film, the one that flipped the series’ sympathies to the apes — backed by The Ghost of Frankenstein.
Cover Spotlight
Roddy McDowall in his Cornelius make-up from ESCAPE FROM THE PLANET OF THE APES — the third installment that turned the franchise inside out and made the apes the ones worth rooting for.
☠ Collector's Notes
Franchise journalism in real time: FM tracking the Apes saga film-by-film, with Escape’s sympathetic flip covered as news rather than nostalgia. Issue #85 reads like a primary document of the series’ cultural moment.
