Spinning off from ''Showcase'' #77 (September, 1968), ''Angel and the Ape'' was a goofy humor series published by Creator/DCComics for six issues in UsefulNotes/{{the Silver Age|of Comic Books}}. Starring Angel O'Day, a gorgeous super-sleuth who speaks thirteen languages and knows karate, and Sam Simeon, a comic book artist who happens to be a talking gorilla, the title featured wacky mysteries in the vein of ''Franchise/ScoobyDoo''. The fact that Sam was a talking ape was played completely deadpan. After their cancellation, the duo spent the next couple decades in comic book limbo, save for a few cameos (including Rick Veitch's ''Comicbook/SwampThing'').
More memorable is the four-issue limited series from 1991 that brought the pair back into Franchise/TheDCU. Written and illustrated by master humorist Creator/PhilFoglio, the miniseries revealed that Sam was actually from Gorilla City, which explained his ability to talk, and that he was the grandson of none other than [[Characters/TheFlashRoguesGallery Gorilla Grodd]], nemesis of Franchise/TheFlash, from whom he inherited low-level psychic abilities that make him appear as a normal human to onlookers. This revival also brought back the InferiorFive, another 60s humor comic; member Dumb Bunny turned out to be Angel's half-sister.

* GeniusBonus: the idea of the Angel and the Ape is a peristent one in mysticism: the idea of the lower and higher selves that the Adept must integrate and reconcile. freud also used the anology of the highest mind - the Superego - represented by the angel, and the lowest human drives - the Id - represented by a shambling beast-like Ape. Both Freudianism and various schools of occult thought had a rennaissance in TheSixties and fuelled many a drug trip - and perhaps this original comic.
