Gorgo #5
In "The Day Manhattan Died," Joe Gill and Joe Sinnott deliver a thrilling, high-stakes tale where a military experiment gone wrong unleashes an ancient, monstrous force beneath the ocean floor. When a failed attempt to destroy Gorgo’s mother in New York Harbor triggers a cataclysm, the resulting rift awakens a colossal prehistoric beast, setting off a battle for survival in the heart of Manhattan. The cover by Joe Sinnott and Vince Colletta captures the city’s devastation with striking intensity, making this a standout issue from Charlton’s 1962 lineup.
