American Update: Angel & The Ape – cult comedy series restocked with early issues!
*DC: In 1968, Angel O’Day and Sam Simeon made their debut in a delightfully light-hearted spoof of the ‘odd couple’ genre. She’s a babe! He’s a gorilla! They’re detectives! From the mind of E. Nelson Bridwell and the illustrative skills of Bob Oksner, this short-lived daffy spoof had great charm, and is fondly remembered by a generation. We have the pair’s very first appearance in Showcase #77, and the first two-issues of their own series, which followed shortly thereafter. Showcase #77 is VG p £7.50; Angel & The Ape #1 is GD p £3.25 and #2 GD p £2. Bargainaceous!
