As we all know, the weekly Marvel UK Planet of the Apes comic reprinted US Marvel's Planet of the Apes material so quickly it often ended up reprinting stories before they'd even been printed in the first place.
When even that didn't work and they ran out of material altogether, they came up with the brilliant wheeze of getting the Killraven stories and having an artist redraw the bad guys' heads as ape heads, and replaced the word, "Martians," with the word, "Apes." Thus was born the legendary strip we in the UK knew as Apeslayer.
Obviously, in these tales, Killraven became Apeslayer but what was the new name bestowed upon the luvverly Carmilla Frost?

Vanilla Ice?
I'm sure that would've been their choice had they not thought of another name first. Sadly, however, they did think of another name first and therefore it wasn't Vanilla Ice. All I'll say is people should remember there's an overriding ape motif in the strip.
Gorilla Frost?
If only. Worryingly, you're not as far off as you might like to think.
I can't be sure but was it something like Sandra Simian?
It was indeed Sandra Simian, more commonly known as San Simian. Well done, Stardust Kid. Yet another person to go joint top of the Department of Pointless Questions Leaderboard.
thank god it wasn't Monkey Spanker
That was their next project.
