We End Our TV Planet of the Apes Stories (for now)...
...with this tale of potential rescue by a familiar face (familiar to the characters...and the artist)!
Why is it someone always dies when these ships land anywhere?
Lieutenant Maryanne Stewart dies in hybernation in the original Planet of the Apes.
Colonel Donovan"Skipper" Maddox dies when he and John Brent crash in Beneath the Planet of the Apes.
Astronaut "Jonesy" dies when Virdon and Burke crash in the premiere episode of the TV series!
Oddly, all three "ape-anauts" survive traveling back in time and space to 1973 Earth in Escape from the Planet of the Apes!
Trivia: the astronauts and Galen use rifles extensively in these strips, though they only handled them once or twice on the actual show, never actually firing them!
Illustrated (and likely written) by John (V for Vendetta) Bolton (who used his wife as the model for Verina), this was the final comic strip in the final (1977) Planet of the Apes Annual.

A fitting, open-ended, send-off!
