Marvel Comics and PLANET OF THE APES have a deep history that goes back over 40 years. Marvel first published PLANET OF THE APES stories in 1974, and in 1975, Marvel published ADVENTURES ON THE PLANET OF THE APES, full-color adaptations of the iconic Planet of the Apes films. The legendary science fiction franchise has spanned over five decades with media including comics, books, films, television series, video games, and toys. Marvel is thrilled to explore the storytelling limits of this groundbreaking saga once again!
This week, Eisner-winning writer David F. Walker (Luke Cage, Bitter Root) and Dave Wachter (Iron Fist: Heart of the Dragon, Star Wars: The High Republic – Trail of Shadows) continue Marvel’s highly-anticipated new PLANET OF THE APES comic series, an all-new ongoing series set to continue the thought-provoking and thrilling conflict over which species will dominate Earth.
