criminal Librun. He ends up to the remote planet and get caught by aliens,
who take him as their pet slave. A female Narla sets him free and hides
him into her apartment. They had sex and Al escapes to end up again prisoner.
This time captured by rebellions.
Comment: Planet of the Apes related story has got a great deal
of text. Each page is designed to be printed separate, because there's
cliffhanger on each end. The story is not unique,
but it shows all Corbenish manouvres: kick boxing, hostile aliens, and
nudism (among aliens it is not shame to strip nude even for daughter
and father - though he does not show anything). Artwork reminds a lot of
his style at the time (cf. "Dead
Hill" or "Due
of Titans").
The original art plates were surprising large, 15" x 22".
