Gorgo #18

In "The Day...the Earth Gave Up!", Gorgo faces his most terrifying challenge yet when colossal alien humanoid robots descend upon Earth, laying waste to Los Angeles, Moscow, and Johannesburg to prove their dominance. After being captured and ensnared in cables during a battle in Africa, Gorgo calls upon his mother, whose arrival turns the tide in a dramatic showdown. Written by Joe Gill and illustrated by Bill Montes with inks by Ernie Bache, this 1964 Charlton classic features a striking cover by Dick Giordano.
