Strange Adventures #201

Strange Adventures #201 (June 1967) pits Animal-Man against one of the most visually striking villains DC had to offer that year: the Mod Gorilla Boss, a sharp-dressed primate in a bold black-and-white striped suit who boldly declares himself "the Real McCoy" while our orange-and-blue-clad hero swoops in from above. The cover, penciled by Carmine Infantino and inked by George Roussos, captures the playful audacity of the era — a superhumanly powered man facing down a natty, trash-talking gorilla is exactly the kind of delightful absurdity that made DC's anthology titles so much fun. If you have a soft spot for Silver Age imagination at its most entertainingly weird, this one delivers the goods right on its cover.
