As mentioned earlier in this blog, I once, many moons ago, worked with Ian Carney on a comic book called Big Ape Go Mental! It was basically a wrestling comic in the style of a warped and twisted saturday morning cartoon. This was way back in 2000 when there were only a small handful of warped and twisted shows on saturday morning television. Now you can't move for warped and twisted.
It was originally planned as a four issue mini series (I think) and then we were going to see where it went from there but the book never took off and we only ever produced one issue.
This will be appearing in bite sized chunks over the coming days till all 24 pages are up. It's a great story (Carney's a great writer) and funny in lots of places too.

Monkey magic! I love it! Such a shame this wasn't pursued into the bookstores...
ReplyDeleteEek, you draw brilliant apes, I'm going to have to try harder now! Great stuff - although I couldn't open pages 3 and 4.
ReplyDeletePrimates rock! Love the style. You should print this on really thin yellow paper with crinkly edges!
