Does go-go stand for gorilla gorilla?

18 months...

 

People who are into SA & GA DC books know that DC has a long standing fascination with gorillas. And that's ok; I like gorillas.

 

But, hen I was shuffling through the go-go check collection, my eye fell on these:

 

Star Spangled War Stories #126, April-May 1966, cover by Kubert, featuring Sgt. Gorilla on a beautiful red background

 

Tomahawk #107, November-December 1966, cover by Bob Brown, featuring Gorilla Ranger on a beautiful red background

 

Wonder Woman #170, May 1967, cover by Andru & Esposito, featuring a space gorilla on a beautiful dark-green background

 

And

 

Strange Adventures # 201, June 1967, cover by Infantino & George Roussos, featuring the Mod Gorilla Boss on a beautiful green background.

 

I think I have to get a four panel display to show there all off together.

 

I seriously need to find more go-go check gorilla examples too.

 

Happy hunting!

you are starting to get me enjoying your passion. Some obscure books in the go go set. They are fantastic

I think you've gone "ape" on us.

 

I'm so jealous for that SA 201. 9.6... that's gotta be so effing rare!

 

How many go-go's do you have all together?

3D - I'm approaching 140 go-go checks slabbed, with one on the way from comiclink, and three on economy service at CGC.

 

Of course, there's 500+ go-go checks in a completed set.

 

At the rate the new sets are being added, it'll be eight months before I have a set dedicated to them. Probably too late for 2014 awards.

Oh, and there's three blue labels at 9.6, none higher, and none at 9.4 and one at 9.2 for the Strange Adventures 201
