Planet of the Apes: The Simian Age

Boom! Studios’ Planet of the Apes: The Simian Age (2018–present) is a single-issue comic that offers a quiet, character-driven glimpse into the early days of the ape civilization. Written by Jeff Jensen with art by Jared Cullum, this stand-alone story focuses on the personal journey of a young chimpanzee as he navigates his world before the rise of Caesar. It matters as a thoughtful, intimate expansion of the Planet of the Apes mythology, exploring the roots of simian culture through the eyes of an individual rather than the epic conflicts that define the franchise.
