Monkey Covers

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

They're not monkeys, they're gorillas: Garrison's Gorillas! And they're spreading havoc behind enemy lines on the cover of Garrion's Gorillas #5.

(Standard disclaimer about undercover commandoes not really being monkeys applies.)
