Between 1976 and 1977 the small independent Argentinian publishing company Editorial Mo.Pa.Sa released a series of seven Planet of the Apes comics in Spanish and under the title El Planeta De Los Simios. The comics included one or two all-new comic strips featuring characters from the Planet of the Apes TV series. The stories were written by Jorge Claudio Morhain and illustrated by Sergio Alejandro Mulko, with the exception of issue 5 which was written by Ricardo Barreiro and illustrated by T. Toledo. The editor of issues 1-6 was José Alegre Asmar. For the seventh issue, the only one with colour strips, the name of the company had been changed to Editorial Tynset S.A. ("to avoid legal problems"), with Ruben D. Ocampo acting as editor.
