They did that whole slew of Marvel Comics adaptations, including FRANKENSTEIN and DRACULA, I think (and possibly, WEREWOLF BY NIGHT). They also did the PLANET OF THE APES movie story records... Many of which used to be featured in that spiffy ad in THE MONSTER TIMES! ;-) (I think FAMOUS MONSTERS may have sold them, as well.) They also did those mid-'70s STAR TREK records. All of these originally came with a comic, and one of the TREKS, in fact, was notorious for accidentally featuring a WHITE Uhura!

May 20 12 11:43 AM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	And I'll throw out a quick question for the good minds gathered here: I was reminded of all this yesterday afternoon, when I came across a Power FANTASTIC FOUR record/45... When I went to play it... I have one of those combo turntable/stereos designed to look "retro," that I picked up new a few years ago. It had been operating fine, but I hadn't--sadly, I realize--used the turntable for a while. The record stopped about two inches before the end of its side! I put on a 33 single (believe it or not), to see if the problem was with the speed, but the same thing happend. I put on an album--the PLANET OF THE APES, if you must know ;-), finally checking out some of these items I've had for years--and again, the record stopped about two inches before its completion. Is this some simple problem with stylus/arm weighting, or something else I can easily fix, or am I on my way to the store, for a new turntable? (I really do need to find out if the FF defeat the Mole Man, or if the 3 Stooges finally do locate Cinderella.. ;-) Thanks! Jim

My understanding is that Power was a corporate relation to Peter Pan. Cast names have been notoriously hard to pin down; but a few include: Peter Fernanadez (Spider-Man, Human Torch, Phoenix of Cap America, etc.?) Corinne Orr Bob Mundy Don Wescott Mike McNally Frank Dolan Ruth Edinburg Earl Hammond I worked with Peter, and Corinne's a pal. Best, -Craig
