Tuska certainly spent some research time, yes, it's not a perfect gorilla but he got a lot of it right ... and it's purple/gray, and we all know that increases the sales of comics!<br /><br />I love the drooling gorilla mouth, don't know how Mr. Smyth pulled that trick off! Poor gorilla didn't deserve to be killed, though!<br /><br />I double up with Mr. Cavin, here, I appreciate the extra work the colorist went too, that's dedication to selling a comic!Brian Barneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15737535617796413548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-983171239671909762.post-34702691646493254022023-03-06T07:59:55.122-06:002023-03-06T07:59:55.122-06:00I wonder how many other "gorilla" horror...I wonder how many other "gorilla" horror stories make the gorilla the victim of a frame-up.<br /><br />There's THE APE with Boris Karloff, though in that one the ape is already dead himself when the frame-up starts. <br />And THE GORILLA with Bela Lugosi and the Ritz Brothers, where the killer uses that nickname but a real gorilla becomes a red herring in one scene.<br />I'm not sure about others.Granthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09603892208775996594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-983171239671909762.post-86934854587682122242023-03-05T20:40:32.572-06:002023-03-05T20:40:32.572-06:00I love the panel where Johnny hits Mr. Smyth so ha...I love the panel where Johnny hits Mr. Smyth so hard the ape mask flies off. That's entertainment!<br /><br />I also love the panels in which the colorist turns his not inconsiderable skill to the task of rendering Mrs. Smyth's negligee see-through. Good work, colorist!Mr. Cavinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01634994342702518448noreply@blogger.com
