Caesar's birth in the original Planet of the Apes films was a result of the time travel at the core of that story. Tim Seeley ( Revival ) and David Walker ( Power Man and Iron Fist ) relocate that birth to 19th century Africa, where Caesar crosses paths with Tarzan, leading to a much different fate for Man and Ape. Drawing deeply from the Tarzan novels and the Planet of the Ape s films, Seeley and Walker run Caesar and the Lord of the Jungle through the enslavement of the Apes, through a century of war, and through the center of the earth.
