Sometimes a gorilla is just a gorilla. Sometimes, though, that gorilla–righteously bearing arms though he may be–is a gateway to a story about the power and fluidity of narrative. For this month’s Four-Color Flashback, Paul and Arlo go ape for Si Spurrier and Jeff Stokely’s Six-Gun Gorilla, a sci-fi Western published by BOOM! Studios in 2013. The boys discuss Stokely’s glorious, hyper-exaggerated art; how the book’s entertainment conglomerate dystopia feels like a logical extension of our present; the way Spurrier weaves various pulp genres throughout his story; and more. Plus, Paul got sick in Gatlinburg again and Arlo admits he was wrong about Dune.   NEXT: Gobbledygeek will return.     BREAKDOWN 00:00:55  -  Intro / Banter 00:21:30  -  Six-Gun Gorilla 01:25:50  -  Outro / Next     LINKS   “Six-Gun Gorilla: The Complete (Original) Saga” “Spurrier Aims for Future Western Weirdness With ‘Six-Gun Gorilla’” by Ryan Ingram, CBR “Simon Spurrier & Jeff Stokely’s ‘Six-Gun Gorilla’ Is Insane” by Andy Khouri,
