It wasn't until the 1950s that the idea arose which claimed that a gorilla on the cover of a comics meant more sales (attributed alternately to Julius Schwartz and/or Jack Schiff), but for years and years piror the gorilla had been a staple of comics stories. After all, what could be more exciting than perhaps the feircest creature on the planet?? They threatened the people and creatures of the jungle, were manipulated by villains to accomplish terrible deeds, and some even took on the role of hero – whatever a man could do, a gorilla could do, only hairier! Gwandanaland Comics has gathered over 30 stories from 1939-1945, featuring the work of over 20 masterful artists, in a monster-sized collection of great gorilla tales! THE PUBLICATION OF THIS BOOK (AND MANY MORE) IS ONLY DUE TO THE SUPPORT AND ENCOURAGEMENT OF JEFF RUDOLPH
