Apenplaneet

Apenplaneet, a 10-issue series published by Classics/Williams in the mid-1970s, adapted the iconic Planet of the Apes film saga into comics. Writers Doug Moench and Gerry Conway, alongside artists Mike Ploog, Bob Larkin, and Ken Barr, brought the franchise’s dystopian world of intelligent apes and struggling humans to vivid, often grim life. This series stands out as an early, faithful comic extension of the original movie universe, capturing its philosophical weight and pulp adventure before the property became a sprawling multimedia franchise.
