About the series
In 2008, Marvel Comics unleashed a delightfully bananas alternate reality with Marvel Apes, a five-issue series where the iconic heroes and villains of the Marvel Universe are reimagined as intelligent, super-powered simians. Written primarily by Karl Kesel (with a framing sequence by Stan Lee) and drawn by Ramón Bachs (with covers by John Romita), this offbeat tale explores a world where a simian Spider-Man swings through a primate-populated New York. A playful homage to the classic "ape" variant covers of the Silver Age, it stands as a fun, self-contained detour into the weirder corners of the Marvel multiverse.
