I remember the early 70's when Apes were everywhere. My brothers and I would watch the Planet of the Apes TV series and we had lunch boxes, trading cards action figures and more dedicated to the post apocalyptic franchise. Something about that monkey world really grabbed my young imagination.

I love the title!!!
Especially since I watched that series (as a high school sophomore), myself. Come to think of it, Marvel came out with SUPER-VILLAIN TEAM UP at almost the same time. So, yeah; I would've grabbed up an issue of that comic in the proverbial NYC minute had it featured a real-word version of this story.
If only to see the poetic justice of Doc Doom making a monkey out of Dr. Zaius.
Considering that Taylor was made to dress like Mr. Rourke (by his telepathic captors) in BENEATH THE POTA, I have to wonder if that's Brent giving a reassuring hug to Nova.
Insert "Return to Monke" meme...
Or is it "Return to Doom?"
Yep. The apes were everywhere. I think the first couple of black and white comics I ever read were from Marvel's black and white Planet of the Apes series. I loved the stories featuring original characters.
Not to mention a series of POTA model kits. I'm kind of disappointed that I never got at least one of them.
Definition of irony: most movie-memorabilia model kits, back in the Seventies, were manufactured by the Aurora Company. "Aurora" is Latin for "dawn." And DAWN OF THE POTA was the first sequel in the reboot franchise from 20th Century Fox.
I followed the TV series regularly, and enjoyed it, though I was lukewarm about the movie series (other than Escape from the Planet of the Apes).
But now Simreeve has me wondering: If Sally Brown (Peanuts) developed a crush on Rafiki (The Lion King), would she call him "My Sweet Baboon"?
@Anon@9:39: That's not irony; if anything, it's synchronicity. Irony would be if the last movie in the series had been titled something like Sunset of the Planet of the Apes.
@Ross: For a different kind of irony, you might try a struggle for control of Earth between the Skrulls and the Zygons.
@Simreeve; wasn't Caesar's arch-rival in "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" supposed to be a psychologically-scarred bonobo? Hence, the zoologically uncharacteristic behavior?*
*They're supposed to be the most peace-loving of the West African apes.
well Marvel did the comic book and the magazine of p.of the Apes , so we could have had this eventually, And Doom would know how to launch the Omega bomb…
They're publishing it again so....
saw the animated, saw the live action series, saw Roddy in a play with Vincent Price, and saw the movies he did. Vic reminds me of the rarely seen Fright Night on the Planet of the Apes. Great optics.
When those movies came out, bonobos were usually called "pygmy chimpanzees", and weren't really thought of as a separate type of ape, so they would likely have been lumped in with the chimps.
@Alaric: they might even have been the progenitors of the anti-war sitters-in, protesting General Ursus' invasion of the Forbidden Zone in BTPOTA.

"@Simreeve: So, in other words, nurture rather than nature?"
Or a bit of both.
