Creepy no. 95 (1978)

The caption says "gorilla" but honestly they look more like chimps to me? And to complicate things we have "See Evil! Hear Evil! Speak Evil!" which inverts the three wise monkeys.

This cover does its job perfectly, because you want to read the story.

@SFFMagazineCovers perhaps they are using the term 'gorilla' the way we use it when talking about war.

Editor: "Harv, we're gonna need a cover to go with gorilla warfare! Can you do it?"
Harv: "Are you sure you don't want chimps? They're so much cuter and human-like..."
Editor: "no, Harv, the title says Gorilla Warfare so that's what it's gonna be!"

[Fast forward to just past the deadline, right before printing starts]

Editor: "GODDAMMIT HARV!!!"

@SFFMagazineCovers "naked apes IN COLOR!" sounds more like another type of magazine... and those chimps are not naked - they're wearing hats and... belts?!

@SFFMagazineCovers Maybe the chimps see invading gorillas in the distance? The chimps have superior numbers and weapons but are physically outmatched.
