In January 2015, another Earl Norem piece was posted on eBay. This was the
accompanying text for the auction.
Never before offered for public sale, this auction is for a finished pencil
used to produce the cover of the December 1976 #11 issue of PLANET OF THE APES
Marvel Comics entitled FOR APE AND MANKIND IT'S THE FINAL CHAPTER?! There's a
bit of a mystery here...Earl submitted this pencil during his long association
with Marvel. The majority of Earl's work were cover paintings for Marvel comics
and books. Earl explained that on rare occasions he was heavily involved in
another project and could only create the concept pencil design. However, he
is not listed nor given credit for the cover art in this comic issue. Perhaps
an oversight as comic production was constantly under the gun to meet
deadlines. Another possibility is that it was more affordable for Marvel to
produce the cover this way rather than paying for a detailed painting. Anyway,
this is a great image featuring profiles of a snarling Charlton Heston and an
angry Ape. I have included a scan of the published comic for reference only.
It is not included in this auction.
The paper measures 11 x 19 inches. The image measures 10 x 11. The art is
signed.

In October 2017, Heritage Auctions posted images of original comic art by Mike
Ploog. From the auction description:
Mike Ploog Planet of the Apes #8 Page 21 Original Art (Marvel, 1975). Look
closely and you'll see that there's treachery afoot on this page from the black
& white magazine-format series; look even closer and you'll notice that the
"mountain man" character is the spitting image of Ploog himself. Ink over
graphite on Bristol board with an image area of 11.5" x 16.5". In Excellent
condition with four pieces of discolored tape. Signed by Ploog in the lower
