Konga #19

In "The Most Ruthless Man in the World...", dictator Yvor Coron rules his Balkan nation with fear, unleashing nuclear threats and attacking neighbors without mercy—until he crosses paths with Konga, the gentle giant of the Indian Ocean. Envious of Konga’s strength and serenity, Coron bombs him for no reason, sparking a journey across the world as Konga, recovering from the blast, makes his way to Europe to confront the tyrant. Written by Joe Gill and illustrated by Bill Montes with inks by Ernie Bache, this 1964 Charlton classic features a cover by Dick Giordano, capturing the moment of Konga’s awakening and the storm to come.
