Planète des Singes

In 1977, Editions Lug launched Planète des Singes, a French comic series that ran for 19 issues, blending the ape-ruled world with unexpected guest stars. Most frequently illustrated by Jean-Yves Mitton, the series stands out for its eclectic mix, featuring not only the franchise's simian society but also heroes like Doc Savage, L'Araignée, and Marvel characters Peter Parker, La Chose, Johnny Storm, and Ben Grimm. This odd fusion of licensed properties and original Lug creations gives the series a unique, cross-dimensional flavor within the European comic landscape of the late 1970s.
