PiercingMetal Thoughts: Though the “Planet Of The Apes” movies were favorites of mine growing up, and I had all the Mego action figures, I don’t recall being a reader of the comic book since it was in 1975. I’m for sure going to investigate this one but I need to clear up some shelf space since those omnibus editions are really sizable and yes heavy too. Closing up I wonder what you readers think about this one. Will you be adding it to your collection and maybe you are even one of those who had the original issues somewhere in their hidden long boxes. Chime in down below with your thoughts and I shall see you again the next time around. Please stay safe out there. The summer is officially started and that means lots and lots of people doing the things. Easy to get sick in that scenario and I want everyone to be okay. Alright, soapboxing done, ciao.
