Sky Ape: Waiting for Crime

In 2001, AiT/Planet Lar launched Sky Ape: Waiting for Crime, a single-issue comic that blends absurdist humor with a noir-inspired crime setup. Written by Mike Russo, Phil Amara, and Tim McCarney, with art by Richard Jenkins, the story follows a bizarre, aerial simian antihero navigating a world of petty criminals and surreal misadventures. Though brief, this one-shot stands as a quirky cult artifact from the early-2000s indie comics scene, showcasing the publisher’s penchant for offbeat genre mashups.
