Fantastic Giants #24

In the jungles of Africa, a plane crash strands Doctor Decker, who forms an unlikely bond with a small monkey named Konga and a tribe of towering natives. Drawn into their secret, Decker uncovers the source of their size: a serum made from seeds of a colossal plant. Back in England, he experiments with the formula, transforming Konga in ways no one could have predicted.

In "With the Help of Hogar," a banished witchdoctor named Manu attempts to reclaim his status by carving a giant from a meteorite and claiming he can bring it to life.

In the eerie pages of *Fantastic Giants #24* (1966), a monstrous infant lizard named Gorgo erupts from the sea during a volcanic upheaval near an isolated Irish isle, terrorizing the coast before being captured and shipped to London’s Dorkin Circus. When a far more fearsome creature—Gorgo’s mother—senses her lost young and follows the trail across the ocean, London braces for a storm of primal fury as the bond between mother and child becomes a force of nature.

In "The Mountain Monster," a reclusive scientist on a remote European mountaintop unleashes a terrifying creation named Adam, built from stolen minds and driven by a twisted experiment in knowledge transfer. As the monster flees the castle, haunted by the very fears he absorbed from the doctors he once captured, he seeks refuge on the storm-lashed peaks—only to meet a violent end beneath a sky split by lightning.
