So many apes came out of the Silver Age. The Red Ghost's Super Apes, Gorilla Grodd and Gorilla City, the Angel and the Ape, Congorilla, and probably more I'm forgetting. It was bannanas in the Silver Age!
I loved it, too. It was clearly a time when comic publishers didn’t take themselves so seriously (their audience was mostly children, after all), so the overall sense of experimental audacity and creative whimsy was off the charts.

I’ll be covering many of the ones you mentioned…plus many more zany DC primates!
I always loved the inclusion of so many Apes in early comics. DC lead the way... you can say they were the Top Banana of the ape genre.
