Cover Cavalcade
In the early 1970s, Marvel Comics got the rights to adapt Planet of the Apes into a comic book. They started with this black-and-white magazine. Each issue contained two stories. One story was an ongoing adaptation of the movie series. The other was an original story set either at some point before the movies or in an alternate version of the POTA universe. I'm not sure which. I wouldn't mind seeing this alternate/prequel story arc reprinted one day--I have fond (if vague) memories of it.
