Talk:Gorillas in comics

earlier comments
What about Art Adams' Monkeyman and O'Brien? Your line about brain transplants also reminded me of the Grant Morrison Animal Man story with B'Wana Beast and that evil scientist who got merged with an ape. I'd have to look up the issue... Aha! Issue 3-4! But this may not be exactly what you're talking about. Also, you may want to double-check your use of silver age of comics/silver age of comic books: you use both, multiple times. -leigh (&#966;&#952;&#8057;&#947;&#947;&#959;&#962;) 20:16, May 19, 2005 (UTC)

Under "Modern age", if you want to talk about "several writers" you should probably have more examples that are not Alan Moore... &#8592;Hob 09:42, 2005 May 21 (UTC)

To say that the films King Kong and Mighty Joe Young "immediately preceded" the Silver Age of comics is dubious at best. The Silver Age is generally considered to have begun with the introduction of the new Flash in 1956, but Mighty Joe Young came out eight years before that. King Kong, released in 1933, stretches "immediately" way beyond breaking point. There surely must be some better - if less well known today - examples availible. --MockTurtle 07:27, 18 July 2005 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:JimmyOlsen98.gif
Image:JimmyOlsen98.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Image copyright problem with Image:Promethea Weeping Gorilla.JPG
The image Image:Promethea Weeping Gorilla.JPG is used in this article under a claim of fair use, but it does not have an adequate explanation for why it meets the requirements for such images when used here. In particular, for each page the image is used on, it must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Please check


 * That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for the use in this article.
 * That this article is linked to from the image description page.

Suggested merge
I suggest we merge the "Apes in comics" subsection of List of fictional apes into this article. It's true that the scope of the subsection is larger under "List of fictional apes" as gorillas are merely one kind of ape, however an examination of this subsection demonstrates that the content is over 90% identical with this article. Either the few non-gorilla apes could be left in this subsection at "List of fictional apes" or we could rename/move this page to "Apes in comics." What do people think of this idea? -Thibbs (talk) 23:03, 14 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Seeing no opposition I have now merged the subsection. As stated earlier it was nearly identical anyway. -Thibbs (talk) 03:03, 16 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Given a smerge has been performed without opposition, I think it's time to put this one out of its misery and redirect. This has always been original research serving as an excuse for decorative fair use pics of gorillas on Superman comics. Of the extremely few footnotes, two are dead links to message boards. A good article for the early days, maybe, but not encylopedic or appropriate today. Ribbet32 (talk) 22:32, 25 September 2016 (UTC)
