Secrets of the Unknown #199

In "The Ghost That Trembled!", Doctor Decker’s crash-landing in Africa sets off a chain of strange events when he befriends a small monkey named Konga and encounters towering native tribesmen whose size comes from a mysterious plant serum. Back in England, Decker’s experiments with the serum lead to unexpected results as Konga grows rapidly—first into a gorilla, then into a colossal creature that terrorizes London. Written by Joe Gill and illustrated with striking precision by Steve Ditko, this 1981 tale blends jungle mystery with science fiction, all rendered in dramatic style. The cover by Kurt Schaffenberger captures the story’s eerie, otherworldly tone.
