We have Already Witnessed a Close Encounter of the First Kind (Sighting)...
Unpublished ad design
...now, we're going to the next level!
To Be Concluded, Tomorrow!
You'll note that penciller Walt Simonson and inker Klaus Janson didn't render the main characters to resemble their screen counterparts!
This continued a trend from Marvel's Planet of the Apes movie adaptations which also did not illustrate the humans like astronauts Taylor (Charlton Heston), Brent (James Franciscus), and mute Nova (Linda Harrison) to look like the performers (though the renderings of the ape characters closely-resembled the prosthetic make-ups)!
(Interestingly, British comics adapting the Planet of the Apes TV series before CE3K did draw the human astronauts Virdon and Burke to look like actors Ron Harper and James Naughton, as we showed HERE and HERE!
For the record, most of the later movie and TV adaptations by the House of Ideas (as Marvel called itself back then) did, in fact, use performers' likenesses.
