Adventures on The Planet of the Apes #1

 This book’s from 1975 and for the first issue of Adventures on the Planet of the Apes, the editor’s decide to start off with a 6-issue adaptation of the classic 1968 film starring Charleston Heston? Talk about being topical. This probably explains why the book didn’t last longer than a year, as fans were probably wanting new Apes stories and they get a tale they already saw in theatres almost a decade prior.

   Regardless of that, the story is very good. It has some insights missing from the film. The art is pretty good- considered it’s a film adaptation from the 70s. I enjoyed it. It was just a little unexpected to seeing chapter 1 (of 6) of the original film in these contents.

   Worth Consuming.

   Rating: 8 out of 10 stars.
