With help from a small team, the zoologist tracks Gorgo down, overcomes Russian spies trying to steal him, and finally secures him—only for Gorgo’s mother to arrive moments later, ready to reclaim her son. Written by Joe Gill and brought to life with striking, dynamic art by Steve Ditko (pencils and inks), this 1963 Charlton issue captures the thrill of the chase and the emotional stakes of a mother’s desperate rescue. The cover by Steve Ditko perfectly encapsulates the tension of the moment.
In "Gorgo Captured," a determined zoologist, inspired by the creature’s recent fame, sets out to capture the elusive Gorgo and bring him to the Bronx Zoo for display. After tracking him down, drugging him, and fending off Russian spies, the team succeeds—only for Gorgo’s mother to arrive moments later, ready to reclaim her son.
In "From Beyond Time," a Brontosaurus and her mate face the end of an era as the dinosaurs fall. When one of her eggs hatches millennia later in modern-day Africa, the ancient creature’s presence stirs legends—giving rise to tales of the Mokele-Mbembe and the sea serpent.
