Planet of the Apes #102

"Quest For the Planet of the Apes: Part 1: Seeds of Future Deaths" kicks off with a gripping twist on the familiar, as a curious student uncovers a secret: the gargoyles of the city are not mythical creatures, but an alien race long hidden in plain sight. Written by Stan Lee and Larry Lieber, with Jack Kirby’s dynamic art and Dick Ayers’ sharp inks, the story unfolds with a sense of quiet dread and unexpected empathy. The cover by Ron Wilson and Frank Giacoia captures the eerie beauty of the moment, hinting at a world where the line between protector and conqueror is far from clear.
