Comix and gorillas go way back. Details of this sordid, simian phenomena can be found at Comic Book Gorillarama and in Wikipedia's Gorillas in comics article.
"This article has multiple issues," the latter begins.
I bet it does.
I would, too, if I were a Wikipedia article about gorillas in comics.
Anyway, in keeping with that proud tradition, Gorilla Grodd, frequent thorn in the side of The Flash, appeared in issues #2 and 3 of The Shield, published by DC Comics. I've been coloring this series since the first issue - except for the Grodd-heavy issue #3! Woe is me! At least I got to do some color ape magic on the last page of #2.
Well, it turns out I got another crack at the Groddster in issue #8, due in stores April 14th. It's just a flashback, so don't get all excited. Wait, no - do get excited! Get very excited! Better yet, go buy it! A lot.
I include here the very first ever sample of my work as a comic book colorist to be featured in this blog. Enjoy...
