Planet of the Apes

Dark Horse’s Planet of the Apes series launched in 2001, expanding the universe of the original film franchise with a single, self-contained issue. Written by Ian Edginton and illustrated by Dario Carrasco Jr. and Mark Pennington, this comic explores the simmering tensions between humans and apes in a familiar yet distinct corner of the simian-run world. While brief, it stands as a bridge between the classic films and the franchise’s later expansions, offering fans a focused, atmospheric glimpse into the ongoing struggle for survival and understanding.
