Gene Kong (Ape Transformation)

This French comic by Pepe Moreno is about a man on the dangerous streets of 1980s New York who injects himself with a gorilla-derived serum that turns him into an ape (he resembles a hairless gorilla). As the cover says, "In the jungle of New York, it takes a monster to survive."


On the subway he makes the aquaintance of a young woman. A pair of thugs assault them, which triggers his transformation:







He transforms again when another set of thugs kidnap him:




As it turns out, being a violent apeman can make you popular in New York:


Alas, Gene Kong goes the way of King in the end...
