Planet of the Apes: Visionaries is a comic book based on the Rod Serling script for the first Planet of the Apes film.[1][2]
Planet of the Apes: Visionaries was based on Rod Serling's unused script for the 1968 Planet of the Apes film.[3][4][5] It follows the world from the acclaimed Planet of the Apes film series closely, 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.[6]
Publishing history
Dark Horse Comics had produced similar comics for Dan O'Bannon's original script for Alien and William Gibson's unproduced script for Alien 3 as part of the 20th Century Fox Uncovered line, which this comic was part of, from 2018 to 2020. Predator: The Original Screenplay was canceled mid-production due to the loss of the license.
