Why Aren't These Characters In Play?!?
I want...No. I NEED to read a comic about a genius mini-skirt wearin', multi-lingual, fencing computer hacker and her comic book artist partner who's superpower is to "persuade" minds.
Did I mention I that one's sister is Dumb Bunny of "The Inferior Five" and the other's the grandson of one The Flash's greatest villains, Gorilla Grodd?
DC Comics, I beg of you! Give me a new "Angel And The Ape" series to covet. If you can find a home for Bobo, The Detective Chimp, you can do the same for these two. They're wonderful. I'm sure someplace like Starman former hometown of Opal City could use a good pair of crimefighters now that Elongated Man's semi-retired and now that The Black Condor's on his way to dead. You don't have to "Vertigo" them to get my attention. You don't.
You had me at the name..."Angel And The Ape."

I'm sure it's more like there was a "Hey, you! Grodd's force of mind says ...c'mere..."
I want "Simian Showcase" Quarterly.

Devon,
I think based off Day of Vengeance that there's a Bobo the Detective Chimp + NIghtshade series just WAITING to be made! There's your Angel and the Ape for 2005!

I keep trying to get rid of the Angel and the Ape Vertigo mini-series, and then I thumb through it and realize how much I love it all over again. Fun story by Howard Chaykin, great interiors by Philip Bond, and those Art Adams covers are so very good as well (which make sense, since girls and gorillas seem to be his very favorite things to draw). Too bad there was never a sequel or anything.
I'd love to see a trade collecting the Phil Foglio mini-series from sometime in the 90's. If anybody gets lighthearted & goofy, it's Foglio.
