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.
