Gorgo #1

In "Monsters of the Past," a giant lizard-like creature named Gorgo emerges from a volcanic eruption off an Irish island, terrorizing the coast before being captured and sold to the Dorkin London Circus. When it's revealed that Gorgo is just a juvenile, his mother—far larger and more fearsome—tracks him across the sea to England, drawn by his scent. Joe Gill’s story, illustrated with striking precision by Steve Ditko and lettered by Jon D’Agostino, unfolds with a mix of primal dread and unexpected tenderness, while Dick Giordano’s cover captures the creature’s looming presence with bold, dynamic lines.
