Stephen R. Bissette    Congorilla
From Twilight
"Congo Bill eventually decided to stay in the body of the gorilla forever and now is quite a wealthy and successful local businessman, a golden gorilla wearing a business suit and even managing to talk just about recognizably, even if some of it has to be done in sign language. The sort of operation he runs is a sort of lucrative small time criminal organization that services the bars and the gambling dens and the brothels and also supplies most of the barrio's drug traffic ... He has a dark secret in his closet, however... almost literally. The body of Congo Bill, now over ninety years old, refuses to die. The gorilla mind that has been trapped in it unfairly refuses to let go and is hanging on with a fierce and horrible willpower. Unable to bring himself to kill it outright, Congorilla keeps the shackled and naked old man in special rooms at his apartment, feeds it garbage and hopes it will die soon, but it doesn't. It just lies in the corner and snarls weakly when he enters and fixes him with its ancient glaring eyes as he gives it its food."

Stephen R. Bissette worked with Alan Moore on Swamp Thing and 1963.
