Planet of the Apes #17

A helmeted, snarling ape warrior dominates this striking Bob Larkin cover, sword raised and eyes burning with menace against a blood-red sky — while ranks of soldiers mass ominously in the distant background. This February 1976 issue kicks off an all-new arc with "Graveyard of Lost Cities," brought to life inside by writer Doug Moench and artist Tom Sutton, and also launches the magazine's adaptation of Conquest of the Planet of the Apes. It's a packed, ambitious issue that delivers on the world where man once stood supreme — and apes now rule.
