Description

As odd as it sounds, the ads for Hostess Fruit Pies that appeared in DC, Marvel and Archie comics beginning in 1977 and into the 1980's were successful for both Hostess and the comics companies. DC and Marvel used staff artists (DC often used Curt Swan) to do the one-page ads featuring their heroes and sales of the cakes and pies increased. So, later, DC and Kraft foods teamed to do a similar series with Capri Sun. DC Special Products hired Angelo Torres to produce a six-episode strip that would appear monthly to advertise Capri Sun. I am guessing that these came from the mid- to late-1980's.

This is Part 1... The Apes of Wrath. This is the introductory episode where we meet Dr. Standley and his group of kids who begin their "Indiana Jones"-like adventure in Africa searching for an elusive fern specimen. We also meet Hairy the chimp who surprises the group by reaching into a cool stream and pulling out a bag of Capri Sun. Lret the party begin.

Kind of silly, but Angelo said he drew his best apes in this series.

Angelo did pencils and inks on these. He told me that the Fourth Episode was stolen from him at a show, so if you see that one please let Angelo know.
