Gorgo #2

In "Gorgo Returns," the giant sea creature and his mother flee to America after the British disrupt the Atlantic waters, only for Gorgo to be stranded and injured in a sandpit while his mother sleeps. When she awakens and discovers him gone, her rage unleashes a devastating attack on New York City—only for a failed hydrogen bomb to prove powerless against her. Written by Joe Gill and brought to life with striking, eerie detail by Steve Ditko (who also inked and lettered the issue), this 1961 Charlton classic features a cover by Ditko that captures the story’s haunting, otherworldly tone.
