Review Summaries
"Stu Miley is a succesful cartoonist which has created a character that is a new hit, Monkeybone, a wild, nasty monkey. When Stu gets into a coma by an accident, he enters the strange world of Downtown, when all the comatose people reside. There, he meets his own creation. Monkeybone tricks Stu into giving his "pass" (what comatose people need to awake) , thus inhabitating his body. His plans are to steal a new invention, the "Nightmare Juice" and use it to give everybody nightmares, making Hyonos (The king of nightmares) the ruler of the world. Now, only Stu can save us."
Vincent Price, Resident Scholar
