The origins of Acid Chimp and Business Dog
Acid Chimp originates from My Bad, a superhero spoof by Russell, Ingman, and Krause that launched at AHOY in November 2021. The series centers on the Emperor King — a supervillain who seeks to torment his two arch-nemeses, The Accelerator and The Chandelier. My Bad originally ran for five issues through March 2022. A sequel series subsequently ran for five issues from November 2022 to March 2023.
Meanwhile, Business Dog originates from Billionaire Island, another satirical series by Russell and Pugh. The aptly-titled comic is about an island inhabited by the ultra-wealthy. It initially ran for six issues from March 2020 to September 2020. A second six-issue series titled Billionaire Island: Cult of Dogs ran from November 2022 to April 2023.
Acid Chimp vs. Business Dog #1 goes on sale Wednesday, January 10 from AHOY Comics.
