Dave Ballard took the "Go Ape!" poster contributed by Dario back in March and cleaned it up by removing all the text except for the gorilla and the "Go Ape!" text. You can download the high-res file by clicking on the image to the left or by clicking here.
E. Francis Kohler and M. Harraway both sent me scans of a Planet of the Apes poster magazine published in the UK in 1974. High-res scans are available in both PDF and JPEG formats, or you can just view the pages by clicking on the image to the left or by clicking here.
M. Harraway sent these scans of Vulcan magazine, a UK-based fan magazine. You can download the PDF by clicking on the image to the left, or you can find other options on the Magazines page.

Dario Sciola sent this "Go Ape!" poster for an Ape-o-thon on Ottawa. The theater owner had an artist take a hi-res image of the "Go Ape!" poster and edit it to include the theater logo and showing dates. That high-res result is available for downloading—note that it's a 6MB file, so it'll take a while to download, but the resulting image is suitable for poster-size printing, if you know a local printer capable of printing such an image. Thanks Dario (and to the theater owner who gave him permission to share the file)!
