King Dong

By Steve Skidmore and Edgar Rider Ragged

A new and original take on the iconic story of man meets giant ape in the biggest and hairiest parody of all time, timed to coincide with the new Peter Jackson movie... Just as Peter Jackson's Kong hits the big screen in an exciting and re-imagined format, looking uncannily like a missing chapter from The Lord of the Rings movies, comes the true story behind the world's biggest and hairiest love story. The intrepid explorer Indiana Bones (so-called for his passion for energetic archaeology) is hired to track down King Dong, legendary for his sheer massiveness (nudge nudge, wink wink). Accompanied by his gay best friend, fey Ray, and the platinum blonde Ann Darling, there to lure Dong into the open, they set off into uncharted territory. As the story develops, dodging intrusions from dinosaurs, Nazis, Orcs and a myriad of characters and plots from movies both classic and contemporary, it inevitably leads up to a king-sized climax and lots of monkeying around on an American landmark - yes, Dong climbs the famous Hollywood sign and is buzzed by spaceships. All very silly, this must-have humour title apes a number of bestselling spoofs in the best traditions of Bored of Rings, Barry Trotter, The Matewix and Star Bores.
