Minicomics: The Secret History of the Space Monkeys

In March we held the Third Annual Mini-comics Day at the Dude! I created another 8-page mini-comic: "The Secret History of the Space Monkeys." It is the fourth installment in my ongoing series, preceded by "The B-Team Returns,"  "Too Many Monkeys!" and "Monkeys in Space!"

You can download and read it:

"The Secret History of the Space Monkeys" - high quality PDF for reading.

"The Secret History of the Space Monkeys" - print-and-assemble version, to make your own physical minicomic.

Once again I had a blast hanging out with all of the talented artists at Mini-comics Day.
