This comic tells how the intelligent apes Lucius, Zira and Cornelius meet Nova, the human who in the future helps astronaut Taylor understand where he was in time.
Remember that this story takes place two thousand years after 1972 (the year where the Planet of The Apes Movie was released) where an astronaut travels in time to a future where apes control the world in an era of barbarians.
The story takes place some time before, when Lucius and Zira visit the Forbidden Zone for the first time, which is actually the ruins of New York after two thousand years.
This comic is the perfect starting point to enter this universe and is also a delight for fans of the original film.
Includes some sequences or panels from the first Marvel comic that adapted the first film of the saga and was called ADVENTURES ON THE PLANET OF THE APES WRITTEN BY DOUG MOENCH AND DRAWN BY GEORGE TUSKA (WITH INKS BY MIKE ESPOSITO, TONY MORTELLARO & DAVE HUNT, AND COLORS BY GEORGE ROUSSOS).
It is a story full of mystery and action in a dystopian future.
Art
It's magnificent, capturing the essence of the original film, with a gloomy tone supported by super detailed art.
Summary
The story of how Nova meets Zira and Lucius begins here, an excellent prequel to the cult film Planet of the Apes.
