Future Funk
Transported into 1975, Doctor Finger and his associate Professor Lovechild have only one mission : Protect the Bar-Kays at all costs!
Ken of the Apes
From down under comes this awesome shot of Ken, clutching an Astro Ape having a Mego Planet of the Apes adventure that includes a Big Jim Gorilla and Frankenstein(!)
