Monkey Covers

Sunday is Monkey Covers day here at YACB. Because there's nothing better than a comic with a monkey on the cover.

From 1958's Action Comics #238, artists Curt Swan & Stan Kaye give us Superman vs. King Krypton, the Super-Gorilla. So, you're a talking super-powered gorilla from Krypton, and he best you can do is to hit Superman over the head with a log? How lame! Man, even Beppo could kick your hairy butt. (And how is it that the log doesn't just shatter on hitting Superman's super-hard skull?)

(standard disclaimer about gorillas not really being monkeys applies)
