What is Monkey Boy?
"Monkey Boy: The City of Trees" is a 36 page comic book, sporting a glossy color cover, written by Rob Matthews and illustrated by Jason Rice, the writer/illustrator of the comic series Silverware Man. "The City of Trees" is the story of an unemployed slacker named Monkey Boy and his desire to be a superhero. The story follows him on this quest as he encounters various characters along the way. For a list of the Monkey Boy characters check out the Cast page. For a taste of Jason Rice's work in the comic book medium check out the Silverware Man section at www.bettercomics.com.

What will the price be?
Well, to be honest right now we're not sure. We haven't set a price just yet. Accounting isn't quite our fortay. But once we do sort through the math and come up with a feasible number, I'll be sure to pass the information along to you by posting it on this site.

When is the release date?
After she had read the description of Monkey Boy on the Cast page, a friend of mine noted that... "So Rob... you're Monkey Boy?" Particularly in respect to the slacker, and fast food, and... well, mainly the slacker part... Doing nothing all the time has become somewhat of an art form for me. So low and behold the release date has been pushed back a bit. We're hoping to have the comic published and ready to distribute in the Summer of 2000.

How can I get a copy?
