    Do the modern fans still go ape for gorilla covers or is it all too much monkey business…?

    Also, any chance this will lead to an Angel and the Ape spin-off series?

    Yes, but it doesn’t take Detective Chimp to deduce that if you want to go ape while smelling a banana, you should buy the Ape-ril Special and listen to the song “Ape Man” by The Kinks as you rub and smell the banana-scented comic cover for maximum mindbending simian synesthesia…
