A great parent/child read for fans of classic Saturday morning cartoons in the vein of Jonny Quest. A boy must team up with a group of elemental apes in order to save his mother from possession.

A raucous tale in the tradition of the classic Saturday morning cartoons—Jonny Quest, The Herculoids, Space Ghost, and The Mighty Mightor—Nothing Can Stop... the Ape! This mini-series tells the story of Maxwell Morgan, a twelve-year-old boy who will go to any lengths to save his mum (who has been possessed by the spirit of Thuuna, an angry primordial goddess), even going as far as freeing the goddess's immortal enemy from his magical prison.

With his faithful French bulldog and four primitive cave people gifted with the powers of the elements, Maxwell must convince the newly-released gorilla god of chaos, Ghraagg'endah, to help them save the world from Thuuna's genocidal intentions and free his mother from the goddess's clutches.

Paying homage to the Hanna-Barbera animated shows of the late sixties, Nothing Can Stop... the Ape! is a story for all ages. So pour yourself a bowl of cereal, and strap yourself in for a non-stop, pulse-pounding thrill ride of epic proportions because nothing can stop... the Ape!
