Another Monkees masterpiece (?) from my youth! Dig this 1977 drawing of "Mikey," Mike, Peter and Davy, as they charge up a hill in complete "foreign legion" garb! Copied from one of the famed 60s Dell MONKEES comic books, you can tell that the 11-year-old me had a long way to go, specifically when it came to capturing celebrity likenesses!

I bought the comic from a used book and magazine shop, where I regularly gorged on back-issue superhero comics, and was thrilled to make this find! Who even knew there were Monkees comics? Note my wonky tracing of the logo, my oh-so-funny captions (swiped from daily afternoon reruns of the show), and the odd logo featuring silhouettes of the band! |

I love those old Monkees comic books. Wish they would put them out in a trade paperback and hopefully in color but I won't be greedy.
