Talk:Gorillas in comics

message: What about Art Adams' Monkeyman and O'Brien? Your line about brain transplants also reminded me of the Grant Morrison Animal Man story with B'Wana Beast and that evil scientist who got merged with an ape. I'd have to  look up the issue... Aha! Issue 3-4! But this may not be exactly what you're talking about.  Also, you may want to double-check your use of silver age of comics/silver age of comic books: you use both, multiple times. -leigh (φθόγγος) 20:16, May 19, 2005 (UTC)
Under "Modern age", if you want to talk about "several writers" you should probably have more examples that are not Alan Moore... ←Hob 09:42, 2005 May 21 (UTC)
To say that the films King Kong and Mighty Joe Young "immediately preceded" the Silver Age of comics is dubious at best. The Silver Age is generally considered to have begun with the introduction of the new Flash in 1956, but Mighty Joe Young came out eight years before that. King Kong, released in 1933, stretches "immediately" way beyond breaking point. There surely must be some better - if less well known today - examples availible. --MockTurtle 07:27, 18 July 2005 (UTC)

thread_title: Image copyright problem with Image:Promethea Weeping Gorilla.JPG

message: I suggest we merge the "Apes in comics" subsection of List of fictional apes into this article. It's true that the scope of the subsection is larger under "List of fictional apes" as gorillas are merely one kind of ape, however an examination of this subsection demonstrates that the content is over 90% identical with this article. Either the few non-gorilla apes could be left in this subsection at "List of fictional apes" or we could rename/move this page to "Apes in comics." What do people think of this idea? -Thibbs (talk) 23:03, 14 October 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Seeing no opposition I have now merged the subsection. As stated earlier it was nearly identical anyway. -Thibbs (talk) 03:03, 16 November 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Given a smerge has been performed without opposition, I think it's time to put this one out of its misery and redirect. This has always been original research serving as an excuse for decorative fair use pics of gorillas on Superman comics. Of the extremely few footnotes, two are dead links to message boards. A good article for the early days, maybe, but not encylopedic or appropriate today. Ribbet32 (talk) 22:32, 25 September 2016 (UTC)
