Who hasn't ever loved a sock monkey? One guy loved his so much that he decided to make a comicbook about it, and Dark Horse is lucky enough to publish it. Creator Tony Millionaire has brilliantly captured the whimsy of child's play and matched it with the wit of a clever (and sometimes oddball) grownup, and in July, Dark Horse brings readers the first collection of this fabulous and fanciful series.

In this trade-paperback collection, an adventurous sock monkey named Uncle Gabby and his eccentric friend, Mr. Crow, are up to all sorts of mischief. Follow them as they try to find a home for a shrunken head, play matchmaker between the bat in the doll's house and the mouse in the basement, hunt for salamanders, and try to get to heaven - all with a heady helping of mischief and lots of random destruction.

Creator Tony Millionaire's fantastical creation is truly a labor of love. "Ever since I started drawing the Sock Monkey books, I have been overwhelmed with letters from grandmothers all over the world. You would think that they would be writing letters of support for my lovely books, but that is not the case. They are filing a class-action suit against me! It seems that I have violated some sort of copyright arrangement where only these wizened old hags are allowed to create Sock Monkeys!"

The Adventures of Tony Millionaire's Sock Monkey is a 96-page, black and white volume containing the first four critically acclaimed issues of the sleeper hit comics series Sock Monkey. Available July 26, this sweet storybook retails for $9.95.
