Tony Millionaire’s Sock Monkey
returns in May hardcover
This May, Dark Horse presents the newest adventures of Tony Millionaire’s Sock Monkey in a lovingly designed hardcover edition. The
Uncle Gabby hardcover is a 40-page meditation on memory and childhood, rendered in Millionaire’s uniquely beautiful style and colored by Jim Campbell. Uncle Gabby is joined by his companions Mr. Crow and Inches the Doll on his latest melancholy adventure.
The story begins as the Sock Monkey returns home from the Poetical Society where he has become a Master Poet dedicated to the Science of Un-naming Objects. He embarks on a journey of sentimentality as he rediscovers his childhood home. However, things are not as he remembers them, and he is subjected to an avalanche of heartbreaking realizations.
Asked to describe the book, Tony Millionaire outlined its themes. “Have you ever walked into an old house and thought that you had been there before, or seen a sailing ship on the ocean and felt that you must have been a pirate in a previous life? This is a book about nostalgia, the way we remember things, and about longing for what we never had.”
Tony Millionaire’s Sock Monkey: Uncle Gabby hardcover is available May 19, for the retail price of $14.95.
