Planet of the Apes #16
In "Mutant Pits," Jason and Alexander find themselves caught in a three-way clash between the gorillas, the Mutants, and each other, as tensions erupt across the planet’s fractured landscape. With the Mutants speaking of a new prisoner—possibly The Lawgiver—Jason and Alexander seize a chance to uncover the truth, commandeering a Mutant tunnel vehicle to slip into the underground network. Written by Doug Moench and Gerry Conway, with dynamic art by Mike Ploog and Frank Chiaramonte, and a striking cover by Ron Wilson and Frank Giacoia, this 1975 Marvel UK issue delivers a pulse-pounding escalation in the ongoing struggle for survival.
