The Return of Gorgo

About the series
In 1963 and 1964, Charlton Comics revived the giant monster craze with a two-issue series starring the iconic kaiju Gorgo. Written by the prolific Joe Gill and illustrated by the legendary Steve Ditko, this short-lived but visually striking run captures the atomic-age monster-movie energy of its era. Ditko’s distinctive, moody artwork brings a unique, off-kilter intensity to Gorgo’s rampages, making this a fascinating footnote in both monster comics and the artist’s celebrated career.
