In the 1968 film, Planet of the Apes, astronaut George Taylor crashlands on the planet Earth (spoilers) in the year 3978. The date is shown on the clock after crashing.

In the subsequent film, Beneath the Planet of the Apes, another astronaut lands some months afterwards, saying that the year is 3955. And again, in Escape From The Planet Of The Apes, the reading from the original ship is described as "thirty-nine fifty… something".

Well, today's Star Trek/Planet Of The Apes #1 lets Spock decides the date once and for all.

Who wants to argue with him? Mind you, it does have the Tipton trademark of starting a story with a different story that you don't really care about, and giving you the story you bought the damn thing for only on the last page of the first issue. See Star Trek/Doctor Who…
