Lila Gorilla Cartoons

A short-lived but charming oddity from Egmont Ehapa, Lila Gorilla Cartoons (1986–1987) collected gag strips and single-page cartoons by a rotating team of European and American talents, including François Corteggiani, Jim Unger, and Reg Smythe. Across its six issues, the series served as a showcase for light, character-driven humor rather than serialized storytelling, offering a snapshot of mid-80s European comic strip tastes. While never a major hit, it remains a curious footnote for fans of the artists involved and the era’s anthology-style publishing.
