The Gratuitously-Awesome
APE
Humor-Action-Intrigue
Do any of those genres sound interesting to you? If so, you would love APE! The mission of this of this comic was for it to be fun for the sake of fun. I wrote it because it is something I knew I would enjoy drawing, and that I would also enjoy reading myself. It isn't meant to be over-analyzed or unpacked, it's just a good old fashioned comic book adventure. Gorilla beats up bad guys. This one-shot comic was a blast to make (back in June of 2022), and I had a great time selling copies at Wicked Comic Con in Boston.

This double pager was easily my favorite part to draw, and I'm very pleased with the result.
