Konga #6

In "The Captive Monster," Konga—now a giant after surviving a nuclear blast—shrink to human size while fleeing to a new island, only to be crowned king by a tribe of gorillas. When a hunter captures him and sells him to a showman, Konga’s size returns as the radiation fades, turning him into a spectacle on the world stage. After escaping, he wreaks havoc in London before vanishing under a barrage of depth charges. Written by Joe Gill and illustrated by Steve Ditko (who also handled the cover), this 1962 Charlton classic captures a rare, eerie chapter in the creature’s saga—penciled and inked with Ditko’s unmistakable precision.
