in 1990, during a resurgence of interest in the franchise, malibu comics launched a new monthly black-and-white "planet of the apes" comic through its adventure comics studio. the debut issue sold 40,000 copies, a record for black-and-white comics, leading to a successful run of 24 issues over two years. the series follows caesar's grandson and heir alexander as he struggles to govern ape civilization. the comic's success led malibu to publish five four-issue spinoff miniseries: "ape city", "planet of the apes: urchak's folly", the "alien nation" crossover "ape nation", "planet of the apes: blood of the apes" and "planet of the apes: the forbidden zone". malibu also published two one-shot comics, "a day on the planet of the apes" and "planet of the apes: sins of the fathers", a prequel story to the original film; a trade paperback collecting the first four issues of the main series, titled "monkey planet"; and reissues of stories from marvel's earlier "apes" series.

the "planet of the apes" film series also originated as a film adaptation of the novel of the same name, taking many creative liberties. the original film titled "planet of the apes" (1968) focused on present-day astronaut george taylor landing on a mysterious planet ruled by apes, which is revealed to be a future planet earth at the end of the film. the sequel "beneath" focused on brent, an astronaut sent on a rescue mission to save taylor. the third film "escape" introduced time travel and shifted the focus towards the apes zira and cornelius, who appeared as supporting characters in the previous films, as they travel to the past in taylor's spaceship. the fourth and fifth films, "conquest" and "battle", focus on zira and cornelius' son cesar leading the up-rise against the humans and to the future depicted in the original film. a television series and an animated series are also considered part of the story. the origin of the "planet of the apes" in the original timeline before the time travel occurred was explained in a prequel-reboot film series with the ape cesar becoming the main protagonist again, with the story focused on his life from childhood to an old ape, and how the conflict between the apes and the humans, started.
