Planet of the Apes (4th Series)

    (Dark Horse, 2001-2002)
™ and ©2001 Twentieth Century Fox Film Corporation

Joining Dark Horse’s stable of licensed titles that includes Star Wars and Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Planet of the Apes is a spinoff of director Tim Burton’s 2001 sci-fi film opus. It tells the tale of astronaut Major Leo Davidson’s fated attempt to rescue a chimpanzee test pilot and his arrival in the distant future on an ape-ruled world, where the treatment of enslaved humans is a volatile social issue and where Davidson’s efforts inspire a human rebellion.

This series takes place several decades after the events in the film, but the issue of human emancipation has resulted in a violent civil war between ape rebels—led by the chimp Seneca and the human Esau—and the established, dictatorial ape regime—represented by the malicious Kharim. Planet of the Apes promises to explore the dynamic established in the film and to take it in a number of intriguing directions.
