Konga #10
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Konga and the Mole Men," the mighty Konga—revered by African tribes—faces a terrifying new threat when a deep-earth drilling expedition awakens a race of towering, pale mole people. Written by Joe Gill and brought to life with striking clarity by Steve Ditko, whose dynamic pencils and inks define both the interior art and the cover, this 1963 Charlton classic blends jungle mysticism with Cold War-era sci-fi dread. As the molemen emerge to attack, Konga must protect the innocent and confront a danger buried far beneath the surface.
In "Konga and the Mole Men," the giant ape is revered by African tribes as a god, but his peace is shattered when a team of explorers—led by an English scientist, his daughter Jo, and his assistant—unleash a monstrous threat. Deep beneath the earth, a race of towering, pale mole men emerge, attacking both the natives and the scientists. When Konga arrives, he confronts the subterranean horde in a brutal clash, driving them back into the depths—only for their panicked retreat to trigger a catastrophic chain reaction with a buried nuclear rocket.
A dreamer wakes from a nightmare about a three-headed alligator, relieved it was only a dream—but a scientist's theory suggests our nightmares might actually be glimpses into a different time stream, where creatures like the Loch Ness Monster and other impossibilities are very real. Someone named Frank Wheeler saw something terrifying on October 2, 1962, and a mysterious pet keeper hopes he never encounters the creature again.
In "Giants of the Earth," a silent, awe-inspiring journey through time reveals the staggering scale of creatures both lost and living—prehistoric dinosaurs, the colossal dragonfly Meganeuropsis, towering Moa birds, and today’s own giants like the Japanese spider crab and the Komodo dragon—each rendered in striking, typeset lettering that echoes their immense presence.
In "The Tree and I," Sam Marshal finds solace in a solitary tree—until he learns it’s not a tree at all, but a fellow alien from the lost world of Kaalaa. Written with quiet wonder and drawn in stark, expressive lines, the story unfolds as a quiet revelation of connection across the stars.
