Favorite Monkey Covers

You know, there used to be a sales gimmick that publishers used to try to boost sales: monkeys. Put a monkey or an ape or a gorilla on the cover, and sales were bound to go up for that issue. Seriously, that was a thing for many years. I mean, who doesn't love monkeys, right?

So for no reason other than it sounding fun, here are some of my favorite monkey covers in my collection! And I will tell you, in all honesty, some of these were purchased SOLELY because of the monkey on the cover. (I limited this to one cover per title, so there aren't scads of appearances by the Red Ghost and Gorilla Grodd.)
