Lotus Land #5 - Been pretty good, almost over may as well finish it.
Man's Best #1 - Maybe, gonna flip through it. Pets in space.
Dawnrunner #1 - Ram V. All I know, but the cover looks intriguing and Ram V is good
Beneath The Trees Where Nobody Sees #4 - Perhaps my favorite book out right now, if you've been sleeping on this one check out the reprints or trade when it comes out.
Deer Editor #3 - Didn't see that twist coming, this is the last book in series.
Back in the day, the editor in chief at DC, Julius Schwartz, had an opinion...
If you wanted to boost sales on any given comic, put a gorilla on the cover.
Weirdly, the sales stats seemed to back him up and so throughout the late 50s and 60s, a BUNCH of primate related covers turned up across all of DC.
"I followed every single magazine that we produced and I was able to see how certain themes would sell. For example, I discovered that gorillas sell. We had gorilla covers on Star Spangled War Stories or Wonder Woman - you name a magazine, we had a gorilla on it. You know what happened? Sales exceeded our expectations."
"In the period of 1951-1970, Julius Schwartz oversaw a total of 22 ape covers on books he edited, followed by the editor of all Superman titles Mort Weisinger with 18. Jack Schiff, who handled a wide variety of books including Batman (and co-created Batman's Bat-Signal) oversaw 17 ape covers in this period."
