Was that exact approach ever taken prior to those strips? Or since? Unbelievable!

******************************** As far as I know that's the only time they took that particular approach.
Changes were sometimes made to the British reprints to reflect what other stories had or had not been featured. For example, when the first Sinister Six story was reprinted, the X-Men had yet to appear in the UK weeklies so we got this:

Wow, that is fascinating. It does show a certain foresight.

Are the American magazines worth tracking down?

I liked the adaptations (and they got through all of the movies). The original material is decent enough, but the problem is that the series was apparently cancelled with little or no notice, so there's a lot of stuff that was in motion that they didn't resolve.

(The way I read/understand those IMDb release dates is that PLANET OF THE APES had one premiere in NYC in February, another in L.A. in March, then the nationwide release in April 1968. Personally, I like to go with wide-release dates, when celebrating a movie's anniversary.)
Anyway, back to the comics... I have to chuckle at that POTA/Dracula comic cover... they missed a golden opportunity to switch the titles around, to read as: "DRACULA LIVES... ON THE PLANET OF THE APES!" :)

I'm pretty sure there's no way I wouldn't buy that.

"Changes were sometimes made to the British reprints"like removing references to Russia and the Soviet Union. My Dubious Fan Theory is that the 70s British reprints took place in the Marvel Zombies universe, pre-infection.

Apparently I saw Planet Of The Apes when it was released... from the back of the family station wagon at the drive-in theater! I remember as much about it as for the moon landing they woke me up for and held my face to the tv or something... nothing.
The tv series was something I did watch and as a kid I liked it a lot. I also thought Ark II, the Bionic Man fighting Bigfoot, and second season Space 1999 were great entertainment. I remember some boys having the toys too, like a treehouse with a jail for humans.
What I remember most about British Marvel comics was a green and white Iron Man.

Are you sure that wasn't Captain Marvel Rebecca?

It would've been on the inside pages of something where they had just green as the one colour. It might have been in Fantastic Comic, I did have some '60s comics available to me, and my older brother had some (like a Deadman I couldn't figure out how to read)
