☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn the 1963 Charlton Special Edition #1, "Idol of the Aztec's," Reptisaurus and his mate soar over Central America, drawing the attention of the hidden Nahuatl tribe who mistake the reptilian giant for their ancient god Quetzalcoatl. When the tribe prepares a human sacrifice in his honor, Reptisaurus responds with force, toppling their temple and sending them fleeing back into the earth—before returning to his mate. Written by Joe Gill and illustrated by Bill Montes with inks by Ernie Bache, the cover by Bill Montes and Ernie Bache captures the mythic clash with striking detail.
In "Idol of the Aztec's," Reptisaurus and his mate soar over Central America, drawn to a hidden underground tribe of Nahuatl descendants who mistake the giant reptile for their long-lost god Quetzalcoatl. When the Nahuatl attempt to offer an American woman as a sacrifice to revive their empire, Reptisaurus responds with destruction, shattering their temple and sending them fleeing back into the dark. The story closes with the creature returning to his slumbering mate, the fate of the tribe and the woman left unresolved.
In the aftermath of their jungle ordeal with the ancient monsters Reptisaurus and his mate, newly married Alma and Larry are sought out by the wealthy and ambitious sportsman Clark Martin, who wants every detail about the creatures—because he intends to hunt them himself in Central America. As Martin assembles a safari into the jungle with his fiancée Beverly Foster and guide Breck Colton, his true nature begins to show, and deeper forces stir in the shadows: the Aztec people, hidden for centuries, believe Reptisaurus to be a sign from their gods, while Martin pursues his own mysterious agenda beneath the cover of his grand hunt.
