Description

I loved Adam's Monkeyman and O'Brien and for a long time desired an example of the cover art. However it was often a backup feature and then only occupied a small circle on the cover. I believe there were only 4 full covers for Monkeyman and O'Brien (excluding crossovers). So I wasn't surprised that my searches failed for so long. So I am excited to finally have an example and particularly pleased it was this specific one.

Awesome! Congrats on your persistence and acquiring such a gorgeous, sterling example! Love the signature "Way After J. Kirby". Cracked me up. What a beauty! Thank you for sharing, and congrats again!

Congrats on picking up a hard to find goal! Very nice cover with all of the trademark AA cartoony detail on display. You also get a strong sense that Adams plain had a lot of FUN drawing it!

Even if heroes didn't show up, the Froglodytes victory would be short. They still haven't figured out how to navigate our freeway system.

Your patience and good fortune has landed you a fun cover that is also an artistic treat.

What a catch! I have loved Monkeyman and O'Brien since it was a card in The Creater's Universe trading card set. I'd love to have a piece one day.

I hope you did not shout, 'At last! The Cover is mine!' when it arrived. Lol.

How cool to find a cover to Monkeyman and O'Brien! They're pretty scarce, but you found a good one. Congrats!

I've never heard of Monkeyman and O'Brien, but I have heard of Arthur Adams. This is a really amazing illustration, and makes me want to go to the comic shop to get some of this cool book. I see they did a 3 issue limited series.
