As for monkeys with guns, the card game / RPG Feng Shui includes a whole faction of heavily armed cyborg monkeys, with names like Furious George, Battlechimp Potemkin, Che Gorilla, and more.

Fuckin lol

I hope Battlechimp Potemkin has an unreasonable issue with long flights of stairs

This is the greatest comic story ever told.

The Brain steals the new prototype body that was being made for Cliff "Robotman" Steele, which had secretly gained sentience and planned to blow himself up once Cliff was inside him. Once Mallah puts The Brain inside the body, they declare their long standing secret love for each other, kiss, then explode. No moral.

This is Golden Age sci-fi comics distilled to their purest form.

Silver age. The silver age was defined by the SF elements. Julie Schwartz was in charge of DC at the time and he had been an assistant to John W. Campbell, the editor who basically shaped what science fiction was more than anybody else. The golden age's science fiction tended to be extremely slight. Superman might have come from another planet where people had the proportional leaping ability of grasshoppers, but who gave a poo poo about Krypton when there were mobsters to be punched. SF stuff was treated very perfunctory in the golden age. It was during the silver age that everyone fought aliens every other week, characters got origins that were "science" based, and DC published multiple SF anthology books.

There is a superbrief bumper in the hazy zone between golden and silver age where you do see SF stuff show up more, but I consider that part of the transition.

tl;dr, have a picture of a monkey with four guns.

What's double strange about the Mod Gorilla Boss is that years later they tried to get interest going for Animal Man again (this was just before G-Mo started his series) and he admitted to Wonder Woman that that adventure was all a publicity stunt.

I believe in a universe that doesn't care, and people that do.


It needs to be said that the reason DC had so many gorillas and apes in the silver age was that their sales showed that the comics with apes on the covers had sold noticeably better than the others a couple times, so there was a company wide mandate to do more ape stories. The apes didn't even need to be that involved in the story, as long as it let them put an ape on the cover.

Of course then Deadpool comes up and tries to fight him instead of mocking him and flying away on a jetpack, so it's not as good

What you think a Pez dispenser should do: open up jaw and pop out a candy like the cartoon character is barfing up sweet-flavored chalk
What a Pez dispenser actually does: the entire head tilts back so it's more like the sweet-flavored chalk is being barfed out a tracheostomy hole

Yeah, but even that's not what I'm seeing here? It just looks like Creed's bleeding profusely from the throat. Just seems like the writer had something more gruesome in mind, but maybe that's me projecting.
