Planet of the Apes #4

This January 1975 Curtis/Marvel magazine drops readers straight into chaos, with Bob Larkin's cover painting capturing a frantic raft battle — armed ape soldiers clashing with desperate humans amid churning white water, barrels, and a volley of arrows and gunfire cutting through a mountain wilderness. The tagline "Where Man Once Stood Supreme — Now Rule the Apes" sets the stakes perfectly, and with two all-new thrillers inside (including "A Riverboat Named Simian," with writing by Doug Moench and art by Mike Ploog and Frank Chiaramonte), there's plenty of tension to back up that striking image. Rounding things out is an exclusive interview with Planet of the Apes TV star Ron Harper — making this a genuinely satisfying package for any fan of the franchise.
