Mini Episode 16: The Humans - Planet of the Biker Apes

Written By Jack Guignol
The Humans Cover

The Humans, a 2015 comic by Keenan Marshall Keller and Tom Neely, finds a recipe for far-out action by combining grimy vintage biker pulp with Planet of the Apes fantasy. Prepare yourself for drugged-out gladiator fights, raunchy ape sexytimes, and surprisingly deep commentary on PTSD.

What is ape-world Vietnam like? How does this comic avoid the pitfalls of nostalgia? Can you name all the squares in biker movie bingo? Find out all this and more in this month's mini episode of Bad Books for Bad People!
