    Planet of the Apes UK

    I just picked up Planet of the Apes Annual #2 (1976)
    The second of three hardcover annuals published from 1975-1977 in the United Kingdom. These are the only comic book adventures based on the "Planet of the Apes" television series.

      I had all three of those POTA Annuals at varying points over the decades. The comic sections were my favourite parts.
      PUNY HUMANS!

            Close, but not entirely true: In the 70s, there were some issues based on the TV series from Argentina. From Wikipedia:

            Editorial Mo.Pa.Sa.
            Editorial Mo.Pa.Sa., an Argentine company, published seven Spanish-language Apes comics in the 1970s, featuring original tales about the television series' characters. It was written by Jorge Claudio Morhain, and Ricardo Barreiro, with art by Sergio Mulko and T. Toledo. Five additional issues were planned, but were never produced. To date, the Spanish stories have never been published in English, but translations have been made available on fan sites.


            I'm pretty sure the translated versions of the comics are on Hunter's POTA website: pota.goatley.com
