Description
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.Â
Â
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).Â
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 â€" and Humans â€" view themselves.Â
