DescriptionCover to the upcoming Overstreet Guide commemorating the 50th anniversary of the Planet of the Apes & releasing July 31, 2018. Pencils and inks done by the super talented Ryan Sook. Get your hands on one but Take your stinkin paws off this one you damn dirty ape!Great movie poster-esque compilation by the artist. I dig it. From borg.com link takes you to full article https://www.google.com/amp/s/borg.com/2018/06/04/ryan-sook-creates-50th-anniversary-apes-tribute-cover-for-overstreet-guide/amp/ For this year’s comic book store exclusive hardcover edition, Gemstone Publishing tapped Ryan Sook to create a cover to commemorate 50 years of Planet of the Apes films. Sook reached beyond the original to reflect imagery from throughout the Planet of the Apes movie saga– a great homage to the original shocking environment as Charlton Heston’s astronaut Taylor arrives in the future horrifying world of human scarecrows, with General Ursus leading the charge and the creepy denizens in Beneath the Planet of the Apes, the return to the past by spaceship for the apes in Escape from the Planet of the Apes, to the militant world and apes under arrest in Conquest of the Planet of the Apes, culminating with the eagerly-awaited first appearance of The Lawgiver in Battle for the Planet of the Apes. The familiar image of Roddy McDowall behind John Chambers’ Oscar-worthy make-up takes center stage–McDowall connects all of the films alternately as Cornelius and Caesar (and later as Galen in the TV series), and here he cleverly blocks the identity of the planet.

Sook did a great job on this and his design allowed for the finished cover fx to make it really stand out. Very nice cover. Bravo!
