Editorial Reviews

Review
...I can't deny my love for the 'Tooth... Sure to be one of the funniest comics released all year. -- Randy Lander, The Fourth Rail

...Inside Fraction's head, nothing is sacred... the strength of Kuhn's art is surprising... -- Don MacPherson, The Fourth Rail

As I spoke in that topic of summaries; the MANTOOTH is very good. -- Hector Lima, somewhere in heaven.

MANTOOTH hits all the buttons at once just to see what happens. It appeals to the basest lizardbrain instincts... -- Chris Eckman, Ninth Art

Product Description
They say the star that burns twice as bright burns half as long; in the case of Rex Mantooth!, he burned five or six times as bright for, like, ten minutes or so. Ape Super-Spy Rex Mantooth! blazed across three stories to inexplicable critical acclaim. These blistering bits of nonsense are now lavishly collected with corrected and re-toned art, the official text, covers, essays, scripts, annotations, pinups, and more.

Featuring a foreword by Warren Ellis (GLOBAL FREQUENCY, TRANSMETROPOLITAN), a preface by Joe Casey (WILDCATS, SUPERMAN), an introduction by Greg Rucka (QUEEN AND COUNTRY, DETECTIVE COMICS), a publisher's note by Larry Young (ASTRONAUTS IN TROUBLE), and more exclusive material than anyone can possibly imagine. THE ANNOTATED MANTOOTH! is exactly like a DVD about a museum that's full of Monkey comics about stuff that 'splodes and dudes gettin' kicked.

Also, it is not round nor shiny.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hilarious!, September 8, 2003
By doughnut42 (Mobile, AL USA) - See all my reviews
This book is great!

This graphic novel has Matt Fraction's annotated script side-by-side with the actual comic pages. Andy Kuhn and Tim Fisher provide the art on the comic pages, and it is excellent!

Rex Mantooth, Kung-Fu Gorilla is a secret agent who saves the world again and again with the help of his sidekick (and special lady friend), Honey Hamptonwick. They battle robot ninjas, rabid mallard ducks, lesbian she-commandos, zombie scientists, and even Hitler!

Fraction's notes on the script are just as funny, and sometimes funnier, as the actual comic pages.

There are three text pages by Fraction, one after every chapter of the main story, and a pin-up gallery in the back of the book, with pin-ups by Jeremy Love, Steven Sanders and Carla Speed McNeil.

Finally, the book also features an introduction by Warren Ellis, a foreward by Joe Casey, a preface by Greg Rucka AND a note from the publisher by Larry Young!

With all of that great supplementary material, you know this book must be important, so buy it!

5.0 out of 5 stars He's a monkey AND a spy. What's not to love?, December 2, 2003
By A Customer
This concept is just too great not to give it a try. Mantooth is an international man of mystery AND he's a big ape, literally. He's also got a giant robot named "world's greatest grandpa" and saves the world many times. Andy Kuhn is rapidly becoming one of the hottest illustrators in comics and this is a breakout work for him. That Fraction guy ain't bad neither.

5.0 out of 5 stars ALMOST AS AWESOME AS FAMILY CIRCUS., December 6, 2005
By The Shawn Clark (I am in the Texas.) - See all my reviews
If Jeffy from Family Circus were a talking super-spy gorilla in a tuxedo, Family Circus would be a much different comic strip. Jeffy from Family Circus is not a gorilla.

I think there's a gorilla in The Annotated Mantooth! That's crazy. I would not let a real gorilla into my house; but a book gorilla, maybe that's OK.

Matt Fraction has written some other comics, and he invented those mesh half-shirt things that dudes used to wear in the 80s. Does he speak Russian? I will not tell you that. You will have to answer that question on your own time.

Matt Fraction has never written Family Circus. Because of this, Mama Fraction does cry herself to sleep at night.
