Who is Monkeyman?

Monkeyman is a brilliant, giant ape-like scientist from an extradimensional world who crossed over to Earth, where he formed an unlikely partnership with Ann O'Brien. Together they defend the world from interdimensional threats and monstrous invaders.

Born at the intersection of comics royalty β€” with Mike Mignola and John Byrne as co-creators β€” Monkeyman made a splashy debut in 1993's San Diego Comic Con Comics #2 and has been a distinctive corner of the Dark Horse universe ever since. With nearly three decades of appearances stretching from 1993 to 2021, this character has genuine staying power, turning up across beloved Dark Horse showcases like Dark Horse Presents and Dark Horse Extra as well as the landmark Hellboy: Seed of Destruction. The company Monkeyman keeps is extraordinary β€” sharing pages with Hellboy, Madman, Concrete, and even Grigori Rasputin speaks to a character woven into the fabric of Dark Horse's most imaginative storytelling. Two key-issue appearances cement the collector appeal, making Monkeyman a rewarding find for anyone digging deep into the rich, offbeat world that Dark Horse built through the Copper and Modern Ages.
