Planet of the Apes #15

Marvel's Planet of the Apes #15 (December 1975) features a cover by Bob Larkin that plunges readers straight into underwater chaos — an armored ape warrior brandishes a spear as he and a human woman struggle together against the writhing tentacles of a massive, wide-eyed creature from the deep. The tagline "Ape and Human United Against Mutated Monsters!" perfectly frames this unlikely alliance, while "Doom in the Emerald Depths!" sets a fittingly ominous tone for writer Doug Moench and artist Tom Sutton's interior story, "Dreamer in Emerald Silence." It's a vivid reminder of why this black-and-white magazine series pushed the Planet of the Apes mythology into genuinely surprising territory.
