I didn't know Killraven came from WotW.

He's not saying the artwork appeared in the magazine, he's saying he suspects it was prepared for the magazine but then not used because the book was cancelled.
*******l My bad. Although I did find a subscription ad that has a illustration like the one John Roche describes. I don't know who drew it, but the faces look real Starlin like.

On this page they missed changing one instance of "Killraven" to "Apeslayer".

So now it's not a giant mutated lobster, it's a giant mutated lobster with a gorilla's face! Brilliant!

Great... Now I'm going to be hearing the B-52's singing "Grodd Lobster" in my head for hours...

The Apeslayer/Killraven saga is legendary.The usual excuse for it is that the UK ran out of material, but when you analyse what was actually available, this is total rubbish---there was PLENTY of US stuff available, including some Apes art from Beneath which they stole heads from to paste into Apeslayer! My, personal, theory is that a batch of art from US either got lost or did not reproduce well first time round (what SHOULD have run was Ploog's sumptuous 'charcoal' art from Terror).In a panic, somebody had the idea to re-use Killraven.In a ridiculous way, it kinda worked! John.
