Planet of the Apes #35

In this pivotal issue of Planet of the Apes, Taylor and Nova push deeper into the Forbidden Zone, only to confront a series of impossible barriers—fire, lightning, a chasm, and finally a wall of ice—each more inexplicable than the last. When Taylor vanishes through the ice, Nova is left alone, facing an unexpected arrival: a spaceship crash that brings two new astronauts, one of whom tends to the dying Skipper. Written by Doug Moench and brought to life with striking detail by Alfredo Alcala, the interior art and lettering elevate the mystery, while Bob Larkin’s cover captures the tension with a dramatic, high-stakes scene.
