Our one-page comics follow the adventures of primates boldly going where no banana-loving creature has gone before. These tales combine the wonder of space exploration with the humor and antics only monkeys can deliver. Get ready to swing through the stars, because ‘Monkeys in Space!’ is out of this world!

Jack Van Thomme illustrates comics and pitches in when he can. You can see the things he likes to draw and read the things he likes to talk about on Twitter and Instagram @Real_JackVT https://www.instagram.com/real_jackvt/

Jonathan Chiotis is a writer of short stories and poems. He authored St. Anthony’s Fire in 2007 but since then has followed his passion for creating comic books. Doing the art, writing, and lettering for several mini comics with inept ability. Currently working on character creation with a focus on ultraviolent action, cinematic dialog, and the supernatural. He attended two semesters of art school, evidence which is undetectable in any of his works.

Tom Lynott lives in Arizona with his adorable wife, two boys and a Border Collie / Cattle Dog mutt named Dani. He took part in Comics Experience’s Introduction to Lettering Comics class in May 2021. You can see more of his work at https://tomlynottcomiclettering.myportfolio.com/. He has also been known to script a story or two.

Christian De Matteo is a writer and college professor, founder of Tellworthy.com and co-founder of FugitivePoems.com with artist-extraordinaire James Lines. He loves all forms of art and entertainment, enjoys long walks on the beach and other less sandy locations, and is fatally allergic to fluffy cats (in case you wanted to get rid of him). He can be found pontificating/dad-joking on Twitter: @CDMetc and @FugitivePoems. He cannot draw. Like at all.
