Planet of the Apes #3

The cover of this 2001 Dark Horse series delivers a striking charge of armored ape warriors swarming across a rocky landscape beneath a pale moon — the dominant figure at center lunges forward wielding a spiked mace, clad in heavy segmented armor, while ranks of similarly equipped soldiers fan out behind him and a second massive ape looms in the foreground corner. Derek Thompson's cover art captures a sense of overwhelming force that pairs perfectly with the issue's teaser line, "Deadly Secrets!" Ian Edginton and Adrian Sibar's Planet of the Apes #3 — subtitled "Wanted: Dead or Alive" — promises a story as tense and dangerous as the battlefield scene confronting you on its cover.
