#25 was the only issue of this all Ditko special containing two reprint stories and two new stories. It continued the numbering from Konga #1-23, Charlton's King Kong type comic which grew out of a movie adaptation. Ditko did the majority of the artwork on the series.

Stephen Bissete wrote a nice piece on Fantastic Giants here at

Bissette refers to a just published academic article on the Charlton monster comics, particularly those by Ditko. It's a long article, maybe thirty pages. It can be found here

Thanks Dave. I would definitely be interested in more Konga and Gorgo comics.

Dave, Zen, it's #24 I meant. There is no #25. Just a typo.

Old piles of good sh... stuff

These are spotlighted items - not always 'old' because of when they were made but rather these are things that were posted awhile ago on this blog and have been 'archived' in the back.
