Sure enough the new Konga turns into a gorilla and then grows into a giant. Eventually Konga is taken out to sea in a freighter which sinks during a typhoon.

Gary Watson originally disputed Ditko art credits for this story, suggesting that Ditko was only responsible for layouts "in a couple of panels," and that this is primarily a Charles Nicholas-Sal Trapani job, June 2008.
