Planet of the Apes #21

This June 1976 black-and-white magazine from Marvel brings the "Conquest of Planet of the Apes" storyline to its "Final Fiery Chapter," and Earl Norem's painted cover captures the chaos with striking intensity — a snarling gorilla in a red jacket brandishes a rifle while clutching a woman in green amid a city engulfed in flames, with ape rebels and burning vehicles filling the background. The raw energy of Norem's artwork perfectly embodies the tagline "Where Man Once Stood Supreme — Now Rule the Apes." Inside, Doug Moench and Herb Trimpe deliver "Beast on the Planet of the Apes!" to close out the arc in dramatic fashion.
