comment
The Humans is a Image Comics limited series, written by Keenan Marshall Keller, and illustrated by Tom Neely.It takes place In a World… where apes and monkeys are the dominant species, and humans are treated as pets, beasts of burden or something similar. Outside that fact, it's exactly like our Earth in The '70s.The titular humans aren't actual humans (those are usually Living Props), but rather a biker gang who chose that moniker to present themselves as wild and violent. The series follows the bikers' conflicts with the law, rival gangs and a few Corrupt Corporate Executives who like to walk on the wrong track sometimes. It also centers on gang members' personal lives, particularly leader Tommy and his brother Johnny, a Shell-Shocked Veteran who just returned from a tour of duty in Vietnam.It's basically an homage to Planet of the Apes and 1970s biker culture, but it can get pretty freaky and violent sometimes.

Sex, Drugs, and Rock & Roll: The Humans spend their free time doing drugs, having sex, and attending rock concerts. The writers even got several indie rock bands to record original songs in order to create a soundtrack for the comic.

Gang of Hats: While the Humans, Skabbs, and Madfückers are all generic outlaw bikers, many of the other gangs have gimmicks: Flex Trucking is a mob like organization with the cover of a legitimate shipping business. The Thrill Killers are stereotypical hippies. The Haterz are an all-gorilla gang, they are politically active and wear Black Panther Party style outfits. Los Muertos M.C. are bikers with cholo / greaser fashion, many of them wear sugar skull makeup. Finally there are Satan's Minions, Mad Max looking Satanists with Viking undertones.
