“The Lonely One”

In "The Lonely One," Konga finds himself stranded in the Swiss Alps after an accidental avalanche buries him up to his neck, drawing unexpected compassion from locals and strangers around the world. Written by Joe Gill and illustrated with striking clarity by Steve Ditko—whose inks bring the mountain’s stark beauty to life—this poignant tale follows Konga as his original friends, Bob and Sandra, arrive to stand by him. The journey culminates in a quiet, hopeful escape, as melting snow and warm weather finally free him, leading to a new destination far from the cold. Cover by Dick Giordano captures the isolation and quiet drama of the moment.

A lonely Konga makes his way to the Swiss Alps and while playing around, triggers an avalanche that buries him up to his neck. Not only do the locals feel sorry for him, but he gains worldwide sympathy. Bob and Sandra (his original human friends that go all the way back to his origin), come to visit him. Eventually Konga's body heat and the warm weather causes enough snow to melt where Konga is able to free himself. He eventually is escorted to a warm island off the coast of Africa.
