Planet of the Apes #15: The Newton edition

Newton Comics' Planet of the Apes #15 is cover-dated January 1976:


The cover image originally appeared on Marvel's Planet of the Apes #12.

The contents are as follows:

When The Lawgiver Returns..., originally published in Planet of the Apes #11, August 1975

Planet of the Apes: Fashions, originally published in Planet of the Apes #4, January 1975

The People Who Are The Planet Of The Apes:, originally published in Planet of the Apes #12, September 1975

City Of Nomads, originally published in Planet of the Apes #12, September 1975

[When the Lawgiver Returns...], originally published in Planet of the Apes #11, August 1975

Outlines Of Tomorrow: A Chronology of the Planet of the Apes, originally published in Planet of the Apes #11, August 1975

When The Lawgiver Returns... is a 23-page chapter. There are 22 pages in the Newton edition. Sort of. The missing page is printed after City of Nomads. It should be page 17 in this Newton edition. Page 17 is a letter column.

Outlines of Tomorrow is a non-comics feature. The original issue has this feature interrupted by a comics feature and continued towards the end of the magazine, ending on a double-page spread. It appears this was the intention. The Newton print is not interrupted in this manner, but it nevertheless does not manage to incorporate the required double-page spread in this instance.

The contest in this issue expires 28 February 1976.
