[The Australian Panther]

I didn't see the movie till recently on YouTube but I read the Classic Illustrated versions of Jules Verne's  'Robur the Conqueror' and 'Master of the World' and have never got that image out of my mind. How many people realize that Robur's airship is obviously the template for Jack Kirby's Shield Helicopter?
'a huge, battery-powered, multirotor gyrodyne called the Albatross, which has many vertical airscrews to provide lift.' Hello?
Incidently, the movie is basically the first book. In the book 'Master of the World'  He designed and travelled in the Terror. It is ten-meter long vehicle, capable of operating as a speedboat, submarine, automobile, or aircraft. It can travel at the (then) unheard of speed of 150 miles per hour on land and at more than 200 mph when flying. You never saw it, just heard it coming and then going. Now, that movie I'd like to see!

"David Thomlinson's annoying character with the pet chicken"

Actually, I think he was always a bit annoying, with or without the chicken.

Crash, The Terror sounds a bit a variation on Supercar:-

There was an hout-long animated cartoon adaptation of Master of the World (1976) produced in Australia by API. You can find it (in parts) on YouTube. The production is unimpressive but it makes an honest effort to tell the original story without the addition of comic relief characters, romantic subplots, and the like. Here's a link to the first part:

Paw. I thought of Supercar about 5 minutes after I posted and signed out. too late to add it.
Cheers.

Crash mentioned youtube for Master of The world, and thanks for that, and here are some Supercar episodes:-

Was that the one done for Hanna-Barbera Studios? I've read where they farmed out to animators in Australia for a short time during their peak period in the 1970s. Alex Toth was sent over to supervise and do designs, and had some stories, IIRC...

I really liked the 1961 American-International version, with Vincent Price and Charles Bronson.

Was changing channels and came across the John Wayne movie El Dorado and while the story has nothing to do with Poe, the character of Mississippi does recite the poem throughout the film (one or two lines at a time).

I checked the GCD, and Dell did have a comic book adaptation of the movie. However there isn't a scan of the book here so I couldn't see if the poem appeared in the comic or not.

It's a bit of an oddball for your project, but you might want to keep an eye out for it.

[profh0011]

Would you believe, the CHEAPEST copy of that on Ebay right now is $53.50 (including shipping)??  That's like TWICE what I paid last year for Dell's TALES OF TERROR !   

I guess there must be more John Wayne, Robert Mitchum and James Caan fans out there than Edgar Allan Poe and Vincent Price fans.   

It might be fun, but I'd rather see the MOVIE itself.  The film, reportedly, is a REMAKE of "RIO BRAVO", one of my all-time favorites, which I still don't have a copy of.  While it might be fun to see, I'd rather spend my money getting a good copy of the REAL film, not the pale imitation, regardless of how many good actors might be in the later one.

Maybe I can find it to watch for free online..........................

YEP, it's on Dailymotion.  Now BOOKMARKED to watch sometime soon.

Yikes!

The film, reportedly, is a REMAKE of "RIO BRAVO"

While there are similarities (same star, same director, same writer, same genre) there's really only one scene copied and that's because Wayne and Ford insisted that Leigh Brackett reuse it because they thought it was funny. I like both films myself.

Probably my favorite bit o' dialogue is
Bull: I was tryin' to figure out what was on this feller's head.
Mississippi: It's called a hat.
Bull: I'll take your word for it.

I'm doing an overdue "project maintenence" right now which is turning out to be bigger and more time-consuming than anticipated.  But as soon as I get things straightened out, I have 3 more Taikas to process (2 for the 2nd time as I now have the original comic to do HIGH-RES scans from), before moving on to a "brand-new" 1968 book from France (bought from a store in Switzerland).

Well Done!

Hi Prof From Time to time across Poe material on CB+ where you would least expect it.
This book [Mysterious Traveller]
https://comicbookplus.com/?dlid=28370
Has a version of 'The Tell-Tale Heart' you might not know about.
Cheers!

[profh0011]

Thanks, but, as a matter of fact... that's a reprint of one I grabbed from this site more than 5 years ago.  Not sure how the scans on the reprint compare with the original (swiped from this very site!) but I did SO MUCH clean-up on them, the orignal comic is on my "wanted" list to do an upgrade... if I could ever AFFORD a copy of the damned thing.

I see the coloring is VERY different.  It might be worth my time to download the scans of the REPRINT, just to see what might be done with them.......................... though unquestionably, getting my hands on the original 1945 comic so I could do my own HIGH-RES scans (300 dpi) would be the best option.

I'm just about to start some (hopefully minor) upgrades to my favorite version of this story, by artist Nico Rosso from Brazil in 1968.  (That's out of DOZENS, each by a different artist!!!)

Anyone-- ANYONE-- who defends the alleged thought processes or actions of Wikipedia "editors" can just go blow their brains out. I give up. These idiots can go **** themselves.

"Removed; please be more intentional here. This should not a be an attempt at a complete list but a representative selection of notable examples"

W--T--F-- does "intentional" mean, in this context?

A minimum of an hour-and-a-half of work carefully, tediously, accurately adding a list, and they REMOVE it outright.

Wikipedia is becoming, more and more, a complete WASTE of anyone's time.


I will be systematically REMOVING links to Wikipedia from my blog articles.


Having spent YEARS compiling information, and repeatedly being told not to "editorialize" at the site, I did not feel it my place to DECIDE which listings were "notable". I suppose, given the ENDLESS STREAM of total lies and misinformation that appears at the site concerning comics history, they would prefer that one only list "Marvel" stories... and maybe a "Warren" or two.

[profh0011]

This is HUGE.  I've just polished off the FINAL story from Taika.  After this, if I tackle any more Taika stories, they'll either be if I get ahold of a pair of comics I currently have fuzzy scans of, or, if I decide to translate some "Dracula" episodes.  I've been working on Taika, off-and-on, for over 4-1/2 YEARS, ever since I first found Luiz Saidenberg's version of "The Black Cat".  Toni Rodrigues really helped kick it into high gear when he e-mailed me 8 complete stories, all HIGH-RES scans from the original 60s comics.  It'll be great to FINALLY be able to move forward, to other things, from other countries.

This turned up as a reprint from 1973 at the Banca Dos Gibis Brazucas blog, thanks to Flavio Barbier.  If anyone can help me identify where it was ORIGINALLY published, you'll have my thanks (and credit at the blog).

All praise - all praise indeed to the Good Professor and his epochal work in re-creating these Poe masterpieces. I say re-creation because this goes beyond mere restoration with the addition of colour and crisp reproduction. The Professor's work will echo down the eons.
