Back Blurb

Taking place before the original PLANET OF THE APES movies, Ape and Human societies have reached a new golden age, but peace never lasts for long. Ripples of dissent are spreading in both the Ape and Human ranks and when a mysterious assassin guns down the beloved Lawgiver, tensions will reach a boiling point! Can one human solve the mystery of the Lawgiver's murder before war engulfs all of society? Or is this the beginning of the end for Apes and Humans alike?

Find out what happens 1,300 years before the arrival of Colonel George Taylor from the original 1968 PLANET OF THE APES movie! Written by award-winning author Daryl Gregory (DRACULA: THE COMPANY OF MONSTERS, THE DEVIL'S ALPHABET) and drawn by renowned artist Carlos Magno (TRANSFORMERS: TALES OF THE FALLEN)!
