Animal Confidential #1
"The Spy" in Animal Confidential #1 (1992) delivers a delightfully absurd tale of an orangutan caught in a web of suspicion during the early 18th century, mistaken for a French spy. Written by Randy Stradley and brought to life with sharp, expressive art by Eric Vincent—both inks and pencils—this story unfolds through the wry narration of Uncle Creaky, who recounts the primate’s perilous gamble with fate. The cover, a striking piece by Arthur Adams, captures the tale’s blend of historical intrigue and whimsy.
