Planet of the Apes collection

A Statue of Liberty half buried in sand on a deserted beach, and an entire science fiction myth is turned upside down! Born from the pen of Pierre Boulle in 1963, Planet of the Apes took shape on screen in 1968, when the astronaut Taylor, played by Charlton Heston, crashes on a world where gorillas hunt humans on horseback and where speech has become an ape's privilege. Facing him, the chimpanzees Cornelius and Zira stand up for scientific curiosity while the orangutan Zaius would rather bury the truth, in a fable that scrutinizes blind faith, contempt for others and the pride of our species. The saga found a second wind with Caesar, the chimpanzee born in a laboratory, whose rise has been reshuffling the cards of evolution since 2011. From novels to comics, by way of the figures that finally give a face to the learned apes, this universe never stops questioning our place in the chain of living things!
