After a seaquake, a huge lizard-like creature walked out of the ocean and almost destroyed a fishing village in Ireland.

Instead of killing it, or turning it over to the government, they decided to take it to London and put it on display for profit. Looking to be a huge success, things became more complicated when it was discovered the monster, dubbed Gorgo, was really just a youngster and it's 200 foot tall mother was coming for him!

Volume 1 - 1st printing. "March to November 1953!" Collects (1952-1954) #4-8.

Cover by Don Heck.

The odd thing about these titles is that the publisher was convinced that faces sold comics; he insisted that every issue have some sort of a face dominating the cover, and cover artist Don Heck eagerly obliged. Werewolf faces, monster faces, terrified faces, always faces. It makes Comic Media's Horrific rather noticeable, so we've selected a few of these fabulous weird tales of terror issues here in this collection! And with the obvious answer staring you in the face you four-color fiends, go get 'em pronto!

Featuring the Work of Don Heck, Don Perlin, A.C. Hollingsworth, Rudy Palais, Keneth Landau, Marty Elkin, and Pete Morisi.

Softcover, 184 pages, full color.
