Ape #1 - Signed
Product Code: 72821
Ape is Rich Tommaso's loving homage/parody of Harvey Kurtzman's Mad comic book.
Parodies of The Bride of Frankenstein, The Day the Earth Stood Still, and The Catcher in the Rye, and Kurtzman's own Potshot Pete. Plus, Tommaso's recurring character Venus appears in a Mad-style parody.
Tommaso is inspired by comics and magazines of bygone eras, and various stories may emulate/parody Archie Comics, 1950s Dell humor, John Stanley, romance, giant monster, etc. It's all wonderful wonderful stuff.
Ape and Black Phoenix Magazine are self-published by Rich Tommaso strictly for his Patreon backers.
We asked Rich if he would autograph his comics and this copy is signed and dated '26.
If you haven't yet experienced the artistry of Tommaso, we have some bargain priced (only $15) digest-sized reprints of material from the early out-of-print issues of Black Phoenix.
