Urko

Few characters embody the oppressive authority of the Planet of the Apes universe quite like Urko, who made his catalog debut in Brown Watson's Planet of the Apes Annual in 1975 — a Bronze Age publication that brought the beloved franchise to British readers in vivid annual form. With only a handful of recorded appearances, Urko is a rare find, sharing those tension-filled pages with the likes of Galen, Alan Virdon, Pete Burke, and Councillor Zaius. It's a compelling cast that speaks to the rich, conflict-driven world this character inhabits, and for collectors with a soft spot for Bronze Age British annuals and Planet of the Apes ephemera, tracking down Urko's scarce appearances is a genuinely rewarding hunt.
