A fantastic Mexican lobby card for White Pongo (1945). Could this be the missing link between man and ape?! Nah. Just a man in a gorilla suit. But I'll keep searching for you. Ray "Crash" Corrigan plays the ape. Naturally. Aguirre Tinoco drew the ape in his distinctive artistic style.

The sequel to Gigantes Planetarios, this is the Azteca-style lobby card for The Planet of Female Invaders (1966). The radar sticks on their heads (from the first movie) are replaced by a–well, I'll let you decide that. Love the large buttons though and trim. Very chichi.
What does it for me is the look on the female astronaut's face. And notice, she's driving. Make of it what you will, this Mexican lobby card for Planetary Giants is quite fetching. Not sure what's up with the radar sticks on the tops of those sinister evil alien heads, though.
