Random Comic Book Splash Page #1

From Atlas/Seaboard's blatant PLANET OF THE APES ripoff title (as is obvious from the splash page so reminiscent of the spaceship crash in APES) PLANET OF THE VAMPIRES #1, February 1975. Art by Pat Broderick & Frank McLaughlin; script by Larry Hama.

I remembered enjoying that comic, but I don't think it was around very long. The issues I had likely were second-hand trades.

No Atlas/Seaboard title lasted more than four issues. PLANET OF THE VAMPIRES ran three, and I think had a different creative team for each issue (not unusual for this company).
