Planet of the Apes #27

The cover of this December 1976 Marvel magazine says it all — two armored apes scramble desperately through a burning, flame-engulfed forest, the tagline "Trapped in the Flames of Battle!" underscoring every singed branch and desperate expression on display. Cover artist Malcolm McN renders the chaos with raw, visceral energy, the firelit scene making it easy to believe no corner of this world is safe. Inside, Doug Moench and Herb Trimpe bring "Apes of Iron!" to life in what promises to be another gripping chapter of Marvel's Planet of the Apes magazine run.
