When a mysterious ape is discovered deep in the African jungle, it’s up to ace primatologist Jenny Lamplighter to get to the bottom of a puzzle that threatens to rewrite human history forever. But can she do it before famed hunter Brick Johnson puts the ultimate head on his trophy wall? A metaphysical screwball comedy, with monkeys.

WHAT THEY'RE SAYING
"With Neighly’s nimble goofiness, the collaboration keeps the pace moving along briskly and results in surprisingly good-natured takes on potentially offensive material ... [Brahma's] character designs alone are wonderful and a source of comedy in and of themselves ... It’s a fun, fun comic, with snappy dialogue and tremendously appealing artwork."
Indie Jones, Ain't It Cool News

"Neighly is ... an author who knows when to damn the torpedoes and move ahead at full steam. He stays a half step ahead of the reader by keeping the action moving at all costs. Brahma ... is delightful. His art is clean, cute and expressive ... perfectly suited to the material."
Daniel Holloway
The Comics Journal's Dogsbody

"Neighly's story has a real sense of fun about it; he has a real sense of how humor works, and the mystery of Adam unfolds nicely for the first half. The overall plot idea of Great Ape is pretty clever as well, with an interesting explanation on exactly what's going on that was a little surprising but ultimately a winner."
Greg McElhatton, iComics

"Well, you can't say this monkey comic is unoriginal! An interesting idea for a story, and with exceedingly good art by Brahma, who applies Mignolaesque spotting of black to a cuter, kid-friendly style in a striking way."
Chris Allen, Breakdowns

"A comical tale, complete with bumbling secret agents, about a primate researcher who’s made custodian of a recently discovered mystery ape with, she discovers, miraculous powers. Which turns out to be something totally unexpected, and permutates into a lighthearted speculation on the nature of existence. It’s cute, and I mean that in a good way."
Steven Grant, Permanent Damage
