The Gorilla-Eugene Hughes-1954


Has anyone ever done a study about pop culture's absolute fascination with gorillas? From silent cinema to King Kong, then Planet of the Apes and beyond, the Gorilla has appeared as a powerful, intelligent, threatening creature. B-movies were (and are) obsessed with them. DC Comics has had a ton of them! A racial metaphor? Bestiality? Or am I overthinking this?
