When alien forces attack the moon base, the robot fails, but Gorgo himself arrives in a second rocket to turn the tide.

Written by Joe Gill and illustrated by Bill Montes with inks by Ernie Bache, the cover by Dick Giordano captures the eerie, otherworldly tension of the moon’s hidden dangers.
In "Monsters for the Moon," the real Gorgo returns from a second rocket to save the day when Soviet cosmonauts on the moon are attacked by alien forces—after their robot duplicate fails. With the Soviets and Americans both on the lunar surface, Gorgo’s arrival shifts the balance, but the true fate of the aliens remains uncertain. The story unfolds with tense sci-fi stakes and a quiet hope for peace, grounded in the raw, eerie atmosphere of a moonlit battlefield.
In "The Real Menace," a stark, elemental tale from Gorgo #20 (1962), humanity's rise from primal fear is charted not through myth, but through the quiet triumph of survival. From the shadows of the wild, early humans forged tools, fire, and courage—turning the world's dangers into stepping stones, until their very presence became the new threat.
