Based on the original
screenplay for Planet of the Apes by The Twilight Zone's Rod
Serling.
On the road to making the
landmark science-fiction classic, 20th Century Fox commissioned Rod Serling to
adapt the source material. Serling's first draft, which was drastically revised
before filming, is a radically different vision of the franchise than the one
the world has come to know and love.
Now, for the first time in
any medium, that vision is fully realized as a graphic novel with Planet of
the Apes: Visionaries from acclaimed actor/comedian/writer Dana Gould
(The Simpsons) and Chad Lewis (Avengers Origins).
This is the world you know
from the acclaimed Planet of the Apes film series, but with key differences -
Taylor is Thomas, and Ape City isn't a crude, primitive grouping of huts;
instead, it's a bustling and urbane metropolis filled with cars and skyscrapers
and a vibrant Ape culture. In a world where Apes wear modern clothes, drive
modern cars and rule the late night talk show scene, the arrival of one man will
forever change how Apes - and Humans - view themselves.
Based on the original screenplay for Planet of the Apes by The Twilight Zone's Rod Serling.
