Animal Confidential #1
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join free"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.
In this delightfully absurd tale from *Animal Confidential #1*, a monkey's innocent travels abroad in the early 18th century take a wildly mistaken turn when he’s mistaken for a French spy—sparking a farcical chase across Europe. Uncle Creaky narrates the uproarious story of the orangutan’s improbable plight, where every gesture is misread and every encounter escalates into espionage chaos.
A single page of satirical ads in *Animal Confidential #1* parodies consumer culture with absurd products tailored for animals—each one a witty, deadpan jab at modern marketing. From the Table of Contents: "Our amazing selection of ingenious items no one need ever again be without."
