A solid adaptation of one of Corman's better movies.
ReplyDeleteIt was a strange movie, but very good, I thought. The comic left out some scenes from the film (for obvious reasons) such as the one where Xavier sees everyone in their "altogether", and I remember the monkey's demise being a little gruesome for young comic book readers.
