Gordo, an Ape against America 

The United States, 1958. You thought you knew what a monkey was? You don't know Gordo. Dressed up in a smart tuxedo and with an IQ good enough for Harvard, the latest darling of L.A. parades his bogus melancholy on the greatest stages in the country. This doesn't stop him from becoming completely depressed: since his girlfriend went off with the V2 rocket inventor, our inconstant quadrumane has revealed an aptitude for thinking up plans quite doomed to failure.
A little bit of advice: if you pinch your ex's private diary and it turns out to contain every detail of a top-secret experiment, don't stash it away in a left-luggage locker. Don't beat up the CIA agent tailing you. Don't meet up with Sinatra in Vegas hoping to feel better. Don't set the KGB and Elvis Presley against you in the same evening. Don't start drinking again and telling your troubles to the whole world.
 And absolutely, definitely don't ever kidnap Lauren Bacall.

This thriller has a scenario, production, graphics and elaborate colours in the style of the novels and thrillers of the 50's and 60's. Graphic references, both historical and musical, abound and new developments rebound!
