El Planeta de los Monos

In the late 1970s, Spanish publisher Ediciones Vértice brought Doug Moench and Mike Ploog’s celebrated take on the Planet of the Apes saga to a new audience, reprinting their 26-issue run from the US black-and-white magazine. This series adapts and expands the classic film franchise, with Moench’s scripts and Ploog’s moody, expressive artwork capturing the tension between apes and humans in a post-apocalyptic world. It stands as a distinctive, cult-favorite chapter in the Apes mythos, showcasing the raw, cinematic storytelling that defined the franchise’s early comic adaptations.
