15 Awesome Monkey Comic Book Covers
What is it about monkeys that is so fascinating? Is it the fact that they look so much like us? Is it that they act so much like us? Maybe it’s the fact that they do lots of funny humping motions. Personally I think it’s all of the above. Monkey are awesome and I think humans have always had an affinity for monkeys.
Whether it’s real life and having them in a zoo or depicting these animals in books or movies, monkeys will always have a great place in our culture. Speaking of books, comics have been featuring monkey for ages and it just so happens I came across some awesome photos of monkeys featured on comic book covers.
Check out the photos after the jump

But why is the scariest monkey the one with a hammer about to murder his master while playing chess?
Something about that, makes me uneasy.
@ Chrystani
Because it lets you know even the most tame of monkeys can turn on you. Alway be prepared to brawl with a chimp!
I love how the monkey in the initial picture is holding up somebody for BOOKS! But to be honest the one that’s most frightening to me is the one that looks like it gots it’s training and wardrobe from Macho Man Randy Savage.
@J5,
Ha right?
I mean library books are free? Who holds up a library.
Truth that man has won the evolutionary battle yet again.
The very, very, very, first Monkey Comic Book cover reminds me of that Monty Python sketch called, “Gorilla Librarian”.
