Interesting. Very, very interesting.
Marshall’s either a terrible writer or he just never really wrote the comic and editors did.
This issue ties directly to the first Planet of the Apes movie. It does so in a neat way. The neat connection almost makes up for the fact Marshall has his protagonist recount events, until this issue, she never knew about.
She summarizes the Conquest plot, which directly refutes the previous few issues. I wonder if Adventure paid its editors in Hostess Fruit Pies.
There’s some other bad stuff here too–Marshall gets even worse with the tense, for instance. Then there’s the person living who shouldn’t be (twice, sort of). It’s all incredibly lazy writing.
Though Marshall is predating a lot of zombie stories by fifteen years with his empty American landscape and sole survivors.
Sadly, the art is no better. It made me almost miss the ending’s significane.
