A Rare Treat !

One thing you'll find as an ardent admirer of all things gorilla , is that trying to find
a detailed article about gorilla men can be darned difficult....Well, outside of this blog that is !
I found on ebay recently, a 3 page article on gorilla man and creature creator Janos Prohaska.
It was featured prominently in the pages of TV Guide is the Jan. 25th-31st, 1969 issue.
The TV Guide was purchased for the Prohaska article, but as I flipped through the pages, I was transported to an awesome time when Lost In Space, Bonanza, Time Tunnel ,Batman, etc. were the current prime time programing. It was quite surreal looking into the past, the ads were especially insightful to the current fads and cultural habits of the time.
The cigarette ads would be banned from publications a few years later, but were fascinating never the less.
But I digress, so without further ado, here is the article...ENJOY !!!
