Tales Of The Gold Monkey DVD announcment


In honor of the long awaited "Tales Of The Gold Monkey" Complete series box set which is finally coming this June from Shout! Factory, I went to my bookshelf and grabbed my TOTGM Hard cover Annual from 1982 and grabbed a few highlights. Enjoy!



I found this book in a comic book store on Long Island when I was a teenager. The shop was right next to a guitar store where my Dad loved to visit on weekends. He would bring me hoping I would catch the "music bug" instead I hung out next door reading The Micronauts, in which one of the character's is named "Bug" coincidence?


Jake Cutter is an expatriate American adventurer who often finds himself in the thick of high-sea adventure. Jake transpots cargo which runs the gamut from Bibles to contraband, he also transports people, from American tourists to Nazi spies.

Later he would go on to become the whiny Commander Willard Decker, who's dumb ass father drove a starship right into a giant Thanksgiving horn-o-plenty, Decker DARED to question the leadership of one Capt. James T. Kirk! OK, I'm going to let it go for now because were talking Gold Monkey here...



And then there's Corky, the lovable retar...OH wait this guys just a drunk, a damn good mechanic and comedy relief.Eat that other Corky!



Jack, the one eyed Jack Russel terrier WHO at one point had an Opal as a false eye until Jake lost it in a poker game. Just remember pal, Terrier's never forget.


Sarah Stickney White (Caitlin O'Heaney), posing as a singer to cover her activities as an American agent operating in the South Pacific.



The Reverend Willie Tenboom (John Calvin), a phony man of the cloth who is in actuality... wait for it....




a Nazi spy named Willy!! He must be pretty tough to be a Nazi and sport a name like "Willy".


The DVD is gonna knock you out! You can preorder at Amazon, Or on the Shout! Factory site.
