Star Trek - Planet of the Apes: The Primate Directive - Graphic Novel Collection Special 02 (Eaglemoss) - Book - (Eaglemoss)
In this exciting special edition of the Star Trek Graphic Novel Collection, two classic science fiction sagas collide as Star Trek goes to explore the dark dystopia of the Planet of the Apes - bringing you The Primate Directive.
This all-new hardback book follows Klingon Commander Kor as he sets out to conquer human worlds in other dimensions. While investigating the increased Klingon activity, Captain Kirk and the crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise get mixed up in a conflict that leads to a very different Earth – one that is ruled by apes.
The Primate Directive is the work of the Tipton brothers, creators of STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION/Doctor Who: Assimilation 2, who chose to engage the original series’ cast for their new story to keep it rooted in the science fiction tradition of the 1960s.

The first television series, called Star Trek and now known as "The Original Series", debuted on September 8, 1966 and aired for three seasons on NBC. It followed the voyages of the starship USS Enterprise on its five-year mission, the purpose of which was "to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations, to boldly go where no man has gone before!". The USS Enterprise was a space exploration vessel built by the United Federation of Planets in the 23rd century. The Star Trek canon includes the Original Series, an animated series, six spin-off television series, the film franchise, and further adaptations in several media.

Comics is a medium used to express ideas by images, often combined with text or other visual information. Comics frequently takes the form of juxtaposed sequences of panels of images. Often textual devices such as speech balloons, captions, and onomatopoeiaindicate dialogue, narration, sound effects, or other information. Size and arrangement of panels contribute to narrative pacing. Cartooning and similar forms of illustration are the most common image-making means in comics; fumetti is a form which uses photographic images. Common forms of comics include comic strips, editorial and gag cartoons, and comic books. Since the late 20th century, bound volumes such as graphic novels, comic albums, and tankōbon have become increasingly common, and online webcomics have proliferated in the 21st century.
