☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Monsters of the Past," a giant lizard-like creature named Gorgo emerges from a volcanic eruption off an Irish island, terrorizing the coast before being captured and sold to the Dorkin London Circus. When it's revealed that Gorgo is just a juvenile, his mother—far larger and more fearsome—tracks him across the sea to England, drawn by his scent. Joe Gill’s story, illustrated with striking precision by Steve Ditko and lettered by Jon D’Agostino, unfolds with a mix of primal dread and unexpected tenderness, while Dick Giordano’s cover captures the creature’s looming presence with bold, dynamic lines.

Gorgo, a giant lizard-like creature, is spewed from the bottomless depths by a volcanic eruption off the coast of a small Irish Island. The monster comes ashore and wreaks havoc before being driven off by torches. Gorgo gets captured with shark nets and sold to the Dorkin London Circus where he is put on display. It's discovered that Gorgo is only an infant and that a similar but larger creature has attacked Nara Island. That creature is Gorgos mother and she follows the scent of her offspring to England. After destroying much of London and rescuing her offspring, the two return to the sea.
