There is a corner in my man cave that I have been preserving for something special. I’ve been trying to find a vintage comic book spinner rack for the space, but if I had unlimited funds, I think I would go a little ape…
I can’t think of anything better than to be greeted by a soldier ape from the Planet of the Apes movie every time I enter the cave. General Ursus would be a little too intimidating, but I could get along with a low-level soldier just fine. He would be a constant companion while I watch bad movies and flip through old comics and magazines.
Throughout the year, we’ll have good times. On Halloween night, he will greet the trick or treaters at the door. During the Christmas season, you can bet he’ll be wearing a Santa hat. And while watching the super bowl, he’ll toss back a cold one right alongside the rest of us.
Of course, it will take time for my kids and the dogs to stop running away in fear, but convincing my wife that this would be a good idea would be the biggest challenge. For now, this will have to remain a dream powered by Photoshop, but someday the apes shall rise.

FYI: The ape image above is from a replica prop offered by Apemania.com. I could really buy this thing!
Oh no you don’t!

HAHA! Awesome.
Nice choice! Still trying to choose mine. :/ I’ll make it by Sunday!
Hey Jeremy, I got my second POTA Mondo poster today. I hope yours arrive soon!
Wife shot me an email letting me know it was there! Can’t wait to see that red on my wall!
Oh come on! The kids would love it. They could call him Uncle something. 😉
Cool! But it looks like the wife might have a problem with it lol. By the way i sent you a email i have my “League” post up over on the Ark.
Got it John. Glad to have you with us this week!
I’d go ape for that Dukes of Hazzard lunchbox….
What, no love for the Fall Guy? 😉
Great choice.
I am having the same problem you are trying to locate a vintage comic spinner rack. I would have thought it would have been a piece of cake to find one but no dice, And when they do pop up they are crazy priced.
Yep. The last one I tried to bid on ended up selling for over $400! That’s a few hundred dollars more than I budgeted. 😉
