| Publisher Description: FIRST EDITIONMonsters from the past Beautiful Steve Ditko Art Nothing could match the imagination, the surprise, and the chilling-of-your-spine like the great horror comics of yesteryear. Now you can enjoy again (or - for the first time) "Underwater volcanic activity awakens an ages-old monster from hibernation. Two down-and-out seamen capture the beast and, on their freighter, transport Gorgo to London, where the creature is put on exhibit in a circus. Things go well for the entrepreneurs until the monster's mother- four times the size of her gargantuan infant-decimates London in search of her imprisoned child. Reunited, the two return to the sea, leaving mankind a bit dazed but wiser for the experience."(Note; Gorgo was originally called Ogra by the people of Nara Island, where he first showed up in the modern world. The London circus owner, Dorkin, changed the creature's name. In the comic books, the cub is referred to as Gorgo, while the adult is simply called Gorgo's mother. I prefer the approach of calling the mother Ogra.)The colorful and scary stories that haven't seen print in many decades The comic reprints from are reproduced from actual classic comics, and sometimes reflect the imperfection of books that are decades old |
