As a comic book series, Planet of the Apes has been published by numerous comic publishers over the years, including Boom! Comics more recently. Marvel got a hold of the property back in 1974 under its Curtis Magazines imprint, which ran from that year to 1977. During that time, Marvel also published comic adaptations of the then-first five Apes films, and colored adaptations of the original two films. Those 1970s comics, published under the title of Adventures of the Planet of the Apes, will be reprinted and released during 2023.
Currently, this new Apes comic is the only one from Marvel being released. With its Fox franchises like Alien and Predator, comics for those series haven’t ballooned in size like Star Wars has, but don’t be surprised if there are some tie-in books coming around the time that fourth movie is gearing up for release.
