Marvel Premiere #34

From the creator of Conan comes "The Mark of Kane" — and this 1977 Marvel Premiere issue makes a striking first impression with a cover by Howard Chaykin, John Romita, and Frank Giacoia. The scene crackles with tension: a bare-chested swordsman squares off against a towering, red-eyed gorilla god amid jungle undergrowth, while a woman in a leopard-print outfit recoils nearby and a fallen figure lies sprawled in the foreground — all under the ominous story title "Night of the Gorilla God!" Inside, Roy Thomas and Howard Chaykin bring their signature blend of swords, sorcery, and savagery to bear in "Fangs of the Gorilla God!" — pulpy, visceral adventure that fits squarely in Marvel's rich 1977 sword-and-sorcery tradition.
