The Gill Man

A mysterious aquatic creature featured in DC's 1970 horror anthology Super DC Giant #S-13, The Gill Man lurks among monstrous company including Dracula, appearing as a creature of the deep in the Silver Age horror tradition.

Lurking at the intersection of horror and adventure, The Gill Man made a memorable splash in DC's 1970 Silver Age anthology Super DC Giant #S-13, brought to the page by the talented duo of Bob Oksner and Henry Scarpelli. This creature of the deep has proven surprisingly durable, with catalog appearances stretching all the way to 2024 and a collector-significant key issue to their name. The company The Gill Man keeps is nothing short of monstrous royalty — sharing pages with the likes of Dracula, Frankenstein, and Godzilla — and their most prominent recent showcase, Universal Monsters: Creature from the Black Lagoon Lives! from Image, signals that this classic figure still has plenty of life beneath the surface.
