Gorillas, Ghosts and Gangsters
8 pp · adventure

Jerry's relaxing day at the zoo takes a chaotic turn when a maddened gorilla breaks free from its cage—and he quickly realizes the "accident" is part of a larger scheme to create a distraction for a daring heist at a nearby government building. With help from Sergeant Spook and an unlikely ally in the escaped gorilla itself, Jerry must uncover the criminals' plan before they vanish with their stolen prize. It's a wild blend of mystery and mayhem that proves even the most dangerous beasts can become unexpected heroes.
