The title PREHISTORIC WOMEN was re-used in 1966 by Hammer Film Studios of England. (Actually, the British title was SLAVE GIRLS.) At any rate, this PREHISTORIC WOMEN has nothing to do with the 1950 film. In it, a big game hunter comes across a statue of a great white rhino being worshiped by hostile natives. Then time freezes. Then our hero finds himself in a primitive word populated by sexy cavegirls lorded over by a cruel queen played by Martine Beswick. This is a weird one, and justifiably saw regular rotation on TNT’s 100% WEIRD back in the early 90’s. Somewhat disappointingly, this is the second PREHISTORIC WOMEN to not feature any dinosaurs! Still, for eye candy fans, the film delivers in spades. The same cannot be said for Hammer’s other dinosaurless cavegirl movie, CREATURES THE WORLD FORGOT.
Rock is a pencil jockey by trade. He's done work for AC Comics, Main Enterprises, and Moonstone, among others. Some of the strips he's created include Dinosaur Girl (AC Comics, creator, writer, pencils), Crissy Carrots (Main, creator, writer, pencils), and Betsy the Bookwriter (Main, co-creator, writer, pencils). His specialty is cheesecake cartooning (what they call "good girl art" these days).
Here’s one I haven’t gotten yet, though it’s on the list. Hammer’s Twins of Evil came along during the studio’s last gasps as a horror factory. Though they had dominated the Gothic horror market beginning in the late 50s.
Though the hoi polloi loathed Mickey Spillane’s pulpy-yet-cynical series of novels about tough guy private dick Mike Hammer, the public loved them and lapped them up
