About the series
The Great Grape Ape, a Charlton Comics series launched in 1976, adapts the beloved Hanna-Barbera cartoon character into a short-lived two-issue comic. It follows the adventures of a giant, friendly purple gorilla and his young friend Beegle Beagle as they travel the country in a mobile home, encountering humorous mishaps. While the series is brief, it captures the gentle, slapstick tone of the original show, offering a nostalgic snapshot of 1970s licensed comics. Its charm lies in its faithful, lighthearted take on this classic odd-couple duo.
