Beneath the Planet of the Apes

A single-issue comic adaptation from 1970, Beneath the Planet of the Apes translates the second film in the classic sci-fi series into sequential art. Published by Western Publishing (likely as a Gold Key or Whitman tie-in), it was scripted by Paul S. Newman with art by Alberto Giolitti and Sergio Costa. This comic stands as a faithful, mid-century rendering of the movie's mutant-infested subterranean world, capturing the franchise's dystopian dread for young readers of the era.
