“Gorgo Returns”

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.

When the British electrify the waters off Ireland, Gorgo and his mother head west to America. Gorgo is attacked after it fouls the trans-Atlantic telephone cable and gets incapacitated in a sandpit while his mother is sleeping. When she wakes up and finds the baby missing, she attacks New York City. The world's weakest Hydrogen bomb is dropped on her, which fails to kill the monster. Gorgo eventually escapes from the sandpit and reunites with his mother but gets wounded by cannon shells loaded with a nerve agent. His mother scoops him up and returns to the ocean where they both go to sleep.
