Mecha-Simian is the last survivor of his people.
Trapped in a cyborg replica of his own destroyed body with his sentient ship for company, Mecha soars through the galaxy in search of the evil General Karakas and his minions – no matter where they hide.
He may not be the brightest banana in the bunch, but what Mecha lacks in smarts he makes up for with heart and determination and some really shiny metal bits.
And so, armed with only his trusty blasters, a mechanized tail and a sunny disposition, Mecha will never rest until Karakas is brought to justice!
Cheers guys... It was a great fight... All the way to the end! Argh!
Awsome battle, now, you ready for round 2
Such a fun comic, man. Great job this month. And any time you wanna do some kinda "Monkey-Pirate" crossover, just let us know.
good work this month..well done!
Good competition, thanks guys and gal for it!
7th it is! Thanks to everyone who voted, favorited, commented, read,liked or hated it! And thanks to Greg, Lisa and the unsung Ama for making this comic so much fun - and last but not least, all the competitors this month - I had a blast!
Well said, IanB, well said!
This is possibly the best comic about cyborg monkeys ever and I should know I've read them all!
A 5 star effort!
Great fun definitely one of my fasvourites.
Thanks, iggynore, glad to hear it!
Lude - Thanks - Greg did a great job streamlining the designs and capturing that Saturday morning cartoon feel!
Mecha Simian is a favorite of mine ;)
Good luck on the competition Rich!!
...also the designs for the ships are really cool...and this style goes hand in hand with what webcomics should look like...enough detail to pack a punch but it doesnt get bogged down and lets the story run free...cool stuff!
Y'know this is a real fun comic..I could totally read this in a continuing series...
McThad - you say that like it's a bad thing?
Luthor - thank you!
Good stuff Rich, congrats!
sorry but this is silly
Thanks, Brendan!

Can't go wrong with the winning formula of apes + outer space
Great monkey fun! Looking forward to more!

Working from Rich's script was a blast! Thanks for the kind words about the art everybody; I consider myself an 'old school' comic book artist influenced by my years toiling in animation (and I love early Giffen ). Lots more info about me is at www.comicspace.com/gwor. Go Mecha-Simian!!!
To our friends a Mecha-Simian! Visit the Zuda Comic's forum to find a gift from the Pirate Eye crew. An homage to your comic, if you will.

Well done. If Bruce Campbell was a cyborg monkey, he would be Mecha-Simian.
On a more personal note, I don't get to use the word "minion" nearly enough in my day-to-day existence.
Thanks for the feedback.
And, oh yes, there will be bears. At some point, there WILL be bears!
There will be bears in the next installment, right?
congratulations rich! this is some fun stuff--half robot, half monkey, all heart.
Thanks grobert - nice to hear from a fellow pirate!
Hehe, the art has a "ye olde school" feel to it. Also, the dialogue flowed well... If I might offer one suggestion - Keep doing whatever you're doing - Because I'm a fan. Keep up the great work guys.
For those interested, the original script for Mecha Simian can now be found here: http://www.richlovatt.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/mecha-simian-v1.pdf
It's slightly different from the final product, and the ship has a name - why not take a look?
Hey Paul - I saw that poster! Looks fantastic - awesome work!
Wow, great job Mecha-Simian crew. Best of luck this month. Be sure and check out this month's crossover poster at: http://www.paulmckinneyart.com/zudaposter.html
Mecha-Simian might just be hanging out in there. Yep. Looks like he is ready to shoot that person behind that tree.
Quality!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Congratulations! Great fun! loved the zany hero ,great art work and storyline. More soon please!
I've just realised that I neglected to add our letterer on to the credits - entirely my fault. You can contact her at amadarwin@gmail.com!
Jill & Val - Thank you both, we had great fun doing it!
