I think that TwoMorrows is releasing this specifically for MEL. But it sounds fun, even if they probably don't mention Koko (which could be a good thing).

COMICS GONE APE! THE MISSING LINK TO PRIMATES IN COMICS

By various.

They may be only one notch below humans on the evolutionary ladder, but gorillas and monkeys have for decades climbed to the top of the comic-book world as heroes and villains, monsters and masterminds, and soldiers and sidekicks. Comics Gone Ape! is the missing link to primates in comics, spotlighting a barrel of simian superstars like Beppo, BrainiApe, the Gibbon, Gleek, Gorilla Man, Grease Monkey, King Kong, Konga, Mojo Jojo, Sky Ape, and Titano. Comics Gone Ape! is loaded with rare and classic artwork, chest-thumping cover galleries, and 11 exclusive interviews with apes artists and writers including Arthur Adams, Frank Cho, Carmine Infantino, Joe Kubert, Tony Millionaire, Doug Moench and Bob Oksner. With its all-new Avengers-as-gorillas cover by Arthur Adams, you won't be able to keep your filthy paws off this book! Edited by Back Issue magazine's Michael Eury.

128 pages, $16.95, in stores on April 18.

Are the majority of the ape stories from DC or did Marvel have it's share of simian characters?

They had a few, but not as many, I think.

Gorilla Man and Red Ghost's apes are the only ones that come to mind right now.

I was always more into lizard-men than ape-men...
